Just to update you on a story we told you about on Thursday regarding a Madison, Wisc. school security guard who was fired after a student called him the n-word and he responded by telling the student not to call him the n-word. . .

He should sue. But in the meantime, The Boys and Girls Club gave him a job as he appeals his firing:
Luckily he got another job already – at least until he gets his school job back. https://t.co/97GnJxCKaJ

And the board is “reexamining” the policy that gets the target of racist abuse fired for telling the person to stop saying the racist word:
"I shouldn't be punished because I have the right to tell somebody not to call me this word"– an emotional plea from a security guard fired from West High for repeating the n-word when asking a student to stop calling him that.
