<h1>Correct, now go to the principal's office</h1><p>North Carolina high school student Christian McGhee was suspended for asking his teacher which of two possible meanings was intended by the word “alien” included on a vocabulary list the class was instructed to learn. Law Enforcement Today <a href="https://lawenforcementtoday.com/debate-ignites-free-speech-vs-cultural-sensitivity-at-central-davidson-high" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recorded</a> the teen's question, as relayed by his mother:</p><blockquote><p>Christian McGhee’s teacher assigned vocabulary words during class last Tuesday, including the word "alien."

She did not claim ignorance as a defense. Rather, she was upset that some classmates spelled the word as “niggerly” in their notes. In the real world outside the Madison campus, this produced a curious reaction.&nbsp;</p><p>Shouldn’t taxpayers be upset that students in a fairly sophisticated UW-Madison class on English literature have never heard the word “niggardly” or, at least, cannot spell it? &nbsp;… [Emphasis added].</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Victory</h4><p>Rideau had hoped to use the incident to make the university's existing faculty speech code more stringent so that it would cover even unintentional offenses. Instead, the university cancelled the speech code altogether:</p><blockquote><p>In a matter of days, <strong>protectors of the code were in a retreat that would lead to its virtual repeal</strong> within a month. The same university that had been the first in the nation to adopt a faculty speech code in 1981 would soon become the first to abandon it — <strong>a remarkable step away from the “politics of identity” that threatens to ruin some of America’s finest colleges </strong>and universities.</p><p>Whatever may be the limitations which trammel inquiry elsewhere, we believe that <strong>the great state University of Wisconsin should encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.</strong> [Emphasis added].</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Related Article:</h4><ol><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/homeschoolers-top-government-schooled-children-in-everything"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#1155cc;"><u>Homeschoolers top government-schooled children in … everything</u></span></a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/reagan-and-trumps-vows-to-defund-government-education"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#1155cc;"><u>Reagan's and Trump’s vows to defund government education . . .</u></span></a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/pay-twice-to-escape-government-education"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#1155cc;"><u>Pay twice to escape government education?</u></span></a></li><li><a href="http://frontline.news/post/fox-censoring-tucker"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#1155cc;"><u>Who's behind Fox censoring Tucker?
