School Security Officer Fired for Repeating Racial Slur Aimed at Him - The New York Times
A security guard who has being called a derogatory term (N**g*r) by a student for a few days, finally being feed up he told the student to stop calling him a N**g*r and lost his job because of the school district having a zero tolerance policy of staff using such words. This thread isn’t about what punishment the student should of received, that’s a separate issue. I want to focus on should the security guard have lost his job for violating the schools policy? I say no, just as I didn’t think the VA teacher should of lost his job for refusing to use a pronoun against school policy.
