'Absolute madness': US student suspended for using term 'illegal alien'

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says it's "absolute madness" that a 16-year-old North Carolina student was suspended for three days for using the term ‘illegal alien’ while asking for clarification from his teacher.

Ms Gonzales said the details his mother gave made it "more incredulous and just absolutely incredible" that his school district behaved in this way.

“So what the mother ... told me is that this student, her son Christian, was asking for clarification on the vocabulary word, ‘aliens’, so he simply asked his teacher, 'do you mean space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?’," she said.

“At which point one of his friends in class turned to him and said ‘I’m going to beat your butt’, and they were joking.

“Except the teacher made it a big deal, escalated it to the administration who told Christian that he was racist.

“It’s just absolute madness."
