Yes because making illegals feel bad about what they are doing is so unfair. Is it insulting to call an illegal an illegal? Maybe they shouldn't be here breaking our laws if it makes them feel uncomfortable?

Wow! Political correctness is on hyperdrive. Please Donald get elected and put a stop to this madness.

I used to go to the beach back when, because it was an easy beach to get to by the T. This was the 90s. From what I remember from those days, at that time it was borderline blue collar/iffy. I never felt 100% safe there, looked over my shoulder while laying out my blanket. Things do change!

Default Free speech has been banned in the USA

This kid's school NEEDS to be disciplined for kissing illegal alien butt.
There is no longer free speech in the USA. What she said was not racist, but it was her opinion, and she should have the right to express it without being punished. The school superintendent said that the school "believes in freedom of speech," but cannot support "insensitive language," which is the same as saying she doesn't support free speech! And who defines "insensitive language?" What if the girls statement was true? Perhaps her figure was not totally accurate, but the statement was basically true. Is truth banned?

This is what we are facing in America today: Truth is not to be spoken. Truth is banned speech. Truth might be offensive to some, so it must be cloaked in other terms or not spoken at all. That is the essence of "political correctness." No one must be offended ... ever.

Her statement in itself was ridiculous and not based on fact, just inflammatory. This is the new Trump speak, nothing is insulting anymore and if anyone challenges non-factual or insulting statements they are just being PC.


Rude and insulting behavior isn't criticized, it's rewarded and looked upon with admiration.

Why blame Trump over this? This is not a new trend by people who endorse Trump so it is you who is exaggerating.

Rude and insulting behavior. You mean like trespassing into our country. Breaking our laws. I agree that is rude and insulting behavior. It shows a complete lack of respect for our nation. Yet Obama and company seeks to reward illegals for this very rude and insulting behavior.

And that is one among the many reasons why the illegal invasion is bad. They do not come from countries that have free speech. They are here either to work illegally, or suck up social services, not to adopt American values such as the First Amendment. At least legal immigrants learn about these values.
