'We feel that this label of racism is extremely excessive,' the mother said.
by RAY LEWIS | Crisis in the ClassroomA North Carolina high school suspended a 16-year-old student last week for his use of the word “alien," documents reviewed by Crisis in the Classroom show.
The student asked his teacher, "like, space aliens or aliens without green cards?” This prompted a classmate to threaten him, according to McGhee. Assistant Principal Eric Anderson allegedly claimed the comment was “racially insensitive” and disrespectful to Hispanic students. The student was purportedly worried the suspension would weaken his chances of receiving a scholarship for pole vaulting.
. “I feel that the negligence of the administration’s decision has fueled the injustice of suspension for a student who simply asked for clarification to a teacher’s instructions.”The suspension’s place on the student’s school record was “very dangerous” to his character and reputation, according to McGhee. She has pointed to his leadership record with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and involvement in school sports and clubs.
