Liberty Justice Center attorney Dean McGee spoke to Fox News Digital about the McGhee family's lawsuit over their 16-year-old son’s controversial suspension.

Dean McGee is 'in it for the long haul' to find justice for the McGhee family after their 16-year-old son was suspended for using the term 'illegal alien' at his North Carolina school. In April, Christian McGhee was suspended for three days after asking a teacher whether her reference to the word 'aliens' referred to 'space aliens, or illegal aliens who need green cards.

You are not in any way, shape or form helping our students. By the way, if you squash a student’s question, you squash education. I’m appalled, and you still got the smirk on your face. I so hope you get voted out,' one speaker said. The McGhee family is seeking a public apology from the school board on the matter and demanding that the suspension be removed from Christian’s record. In the event the district court does not rule in their favor, they are prepared to appeal.
