We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
"illegal aliens who need green cards"
That's not a clarifying question, it's a politically loaded statement. That's why the headline only says "suspended for saying illegal alien" and not the whole context because it sounds better that way.
Based on the statement from the teacher and the student. I see nothing political about his statement. It was a clarifying question and the legal term is illegal alien.
Sure, but not "illegal alien who needs a green card," which is needlessly inflammatory.
If a kid raises a hand in class and asks if a historical figure is 7-11 brown or 9/11 brown, it's certainly a clarifying question asking if the person in question is Indian or middle eastern, but it's also incredibly uncalled for and they should be punished.
In context of the question. I don’t see an issue. Illegal aliens lack green cards. The kid was asking a clarifying statement.
