Glad he was reinstated!! He was actually standing up for decency. NOONE no matter what race, should use this word in ANY context! It’s just wrong

He was called the N word by a black student. We can all go home now, nothing to see here.

Marlon, you had every right to ask to be spoken to with respect and I hope the community support helps you get reinstated with back pay. Shame on the school system for targeting the good guy and the parents of this bad kid for not doing the right things when they mattered.

Why didn't you mention the student was AFRICAN AMERICAN? Let's let America believe it was yet another racist white person. fakenews activists (not journalists) asmeleah and 1SheenaJones found it necessary to omit that fact to further divide us. Not the facts, only the agenda.

shaunking RealDLHughley Wrong on so many levels! What punishment did the ignorant student receive

Wisconsin has gone MAD!!! They fire a Security Guard for telling a student not to use the N-word, because they have a zero tolerance for using racially degrading language, but they apparently don't use their ZERO TOLERANCE for Students!!

If this story is reasonably correct, the school district and it's administrators are asses.WiStateJournal

CNN is being intentionally deceitful in the manner in which they are reporting this story. They purposely omitted the extremely relevant fact that the student using the slur was also African American. They will go to great lengths to demonize whitey.

some ppl in the US really are the bottom filth of humanity n those same also think they've got it all right n understood it all. but the truth is they are vile n stigma-bearers monsters. ignorant, lifeless n entitled life mistakes

We must stand up for ourselves. God will open another door for the gentleman.

CNN IS FAKE NEWS!

Security guard asks student to stop calling him n-word, gets fired for saying itMarlon Anderson worked at West High School, in Madison, Wisconsin and says his school district should look at the context in which the word was used. And nothing happened to this shit kid I guess Wtf The policy states that word will not be tolerated by staff regardless of circumstances. This man felt special and entitled do to the historical discrimination he and his family faced. If we are outlawing words it has to be outlawed for everyone regardless.

Stop Using the N-Word If You're Not BlackThe end! Case closed! Period! How black do you have to be? Is there a percentage? How about we all not use the N word. There’s not another historically rooted ethnic-racist or even gender-based slur that people argue over the right to use. We did a whole national media campaign against “that’s gay!” But “the rappers say it!” Is supposed excuse folk saying n-word and being dumb about it?! A polite human resources representative called Walter Mosley on the phone to ask why he'd said the 'N-word' during a story meeting, he responded, 'I am the N-word in the writers’ room.'
