From Fox News: The family of a North Carolina high school student suspended for using the term “illegal alien” is slated to receive a $20,000 payment and a public apology under a proposed settlement, according to The New York Post.
The outlet reported Thursday that the settlement was reached to remove all references to racial bias from now-17-year-old Christian McGhee’s record, provide compensation and issue a public apology “for the mischaracterization of racial bias.”
The teen received a three-day suspension last year after asking his teacher if a conversation in class was centered around “spaceship aliens” or “illegal aliens who need green cards” after he returned to the classroom from the restroom.
A Latino student present in the class reportedly “joked” that he was going to “kick Christian’s a–,” leading the teacher to escalate the situation to the assistant principal.
“The Proposed Settlement provides C.M. with monetary compensation intended to defray the costs of his new school, which is private and charges annual tuition,” the settlement says.
McGhee’s lawyer, Liberty Justice Center attorney Dean McGee, said, “Because Christian is a minor, a court hearing is required before the settlement can become final.
“We’ll have more to say after that hearing, but we’re pleased to take this important step toward clearing our client’s name.”
