As reported in the Carolina Journal, 04/18/2024, a 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina was suspended for three days last week after using the term ‘illegal alien’ during a vocabulary assignment in his English class. Reportedly, the student was assigned vocabulary words, which included the word "alien," and the teenager asked the teacher, "Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?" Another student was reportedly offended and allegedly threatened to fight the student, which caused the teacher to call the assistant principal, resulting in the teenager's words being deemed offensive to Hispanic classmates.
And on a somewhat related note --- on 03/05/2024 our local SE, KS newspaper, the Parsons Sun, chose to publish on “Opinion” Page 4 a “Public Mind” article I submitted, titled “A change-of-heart about tax day.” Wherein, however, the Sun’s staff chose to “change” my original words “illegal aliens” to “illegal immigrants,” as well as "deleting" my reference to U.S. taxpayer funds used for food, clothing, lodging, smartphones, internet service, healthcare, legal services, education, credit card accounts, etc., for illegal aliens.
The above referenced “Special Editing” by the Parsons Sun, and aforementioned “Student Suspension” at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, NC, of course being among a growing number of examples of “selective” free-speech cancelling.
“Censoring actions” taken apparently with little to no concern about the interests of a growing number of other U.S. citizens who are much more than just offended --- by the continued invasion of our country by millions upon millions of “illegal aliens,” from places known and unknown. And by various of our country’s streets, bridges, college/university campuses, government facilities, etc., being disrupted or otherwise plagued by pro-Hamas(terrorist)/anti-Israel/anti-America protests, some of which including chants of “death to Israel,” “death to America,” and disrespectful burning of our American Flag, etc.
As --- and seemingly related in a number of ways to the above examples --- just “being offended” also falls far beyond short of applying to another very deep and justified concern of growing numbers of We the People. That being of the threat posed and underway by the many faces of various “enemies within” who are hell-bent to destroy our precious Constitutional Republic --- the United States of America --- individual liberty’s best and last hope!
