Yale University is rehiring an employee who illegally smashed a historic stained glass window because he thought it was racist, saying the employee deserves a second chance.
Corey Menafee worked as a dishwasher for Yale until late June, when he became so incensed over a stained glass window showing two black slaves picking cotton that he impulsively grabbed a broomstick and smashed the window. The stained glass window was decades old and was part of a series related to the life of John C. Calhoun, a slaveowner and U.S. senator for whom Yale’s Calhoun College is named for.
When asked about the matter, Menafee defended his action by saying “It’s 2016, I shouldn’t have to come to work and see things like that.”

Black privilege.....do whatever the hell you want, and get away with it.
Hope they're docking his wages for breaking the window highlighting Democrat senator and slave owner John C. Calhoun.
Give me a moment...Where did Billy & Hilly go to law school?
Yep; you guessed it. Good, old slave owner celebrating Yale!
Totally disgusting.
I am almost 60 years old and I have never heard of anyone getting their job back because "they deserved a second chance."
And what was that BS about White Privilege?
Just when you think you have seen it all, five minutes later some nonsense surfaces. Coworkers need to hand him the same broomstick to let him get the feel of it.
"...the employee deserves a second chance."
Yeah., a second chance to destroy something else historic and "racist".
Political., yes. It is what it is and that's glaringly obvious to even the most casual observer.
