Security Guard Who Told Student Not To Call Him The N-Word Rehired. Is It Time To Stop Saying It?

According to a release from the union, Madison Teachers Inc., the Madison Metropolitan School District decided Monday to rescind the termination of Marlon Anderson, a security guard at Madison West High School.

Anderson was fired by the district after a Black student said the n-word during an exchange, and Anderson repeated the racial slur when he told the teen not to use it. At the time, district leaders said Anderson was fired for violating its "zero-tolerance policy" for using the racial slur on school grounds.
