From the BBC
Students at a Wisconsin school have protested against the firing of a black security guard after he told a student not to call him a racial slur.
Marlon Anderson was sacked for repeating the n-word while scolding a black pupil who addressed him with the epithet.
Mr Anderson was asked on 9 October to help remove an unruly teen, who then began directing racial abuse at him.
He was sacked from West High School in the city of Madison on Wednesday.

Reading this article reminded me of the time that I was called into the office of the "Head Nun" (I was enrolled in a Catholic School at the time) and spent the better part of an hour with her trying to tell me not to do something that she adamantly refused to specifically identify.
