Schneiter was fired after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in July reported on his Facebook postings. “I don't think he's racist and even if he's racist he's got First Amendment rights,” Cade said. Schneiter referred other questions to his attorney, Nate Cade, who said the Department of Corrections acted improperly in firing him. “If I get my job back, I'm going back to work,” he said in a brief interview. Schneiter, 65, had said in the summer that he intended to retire soon, but on Friday said he wants to return to work. The state Department of Corrections did not immediately return messages seeking comment Friday. The ruling from the WERC chairman can be appealed in court. That hearing will serve as a type of mini-trial where both Schneiter and the Department of Corrections can present evidence and call witnesses. He filed a second appeal last month and has a hearing scheduled before the commission on April 2.

Schneiter appealed his firing in December but was denied. Richard “Sam” Schneiter, a 42-year veteran of the Department of Corrections, was fired in November, records from the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission provided to The Associated Press reveal.

(AP) - A Wisconsin deputy prison warden has been fired after posting Facebook memes comparing Muslim children to garbage and equating flying a gay pride rainbow flag with raising the Confederate flag. When will misogynistic and homophobic ranting and raving result in meaningful repercussions in the entertainment industry? When will they be treated with the same seriousness as racist and anti-Semitic offenses? While an artist who can barely get a sentence fragment out without using homophobic slurs is celebrated on the cover of every magazine, blog and newspaper, I’m disheartened that any self-respecting human being could stand in support with a message so vile.MADISON, Wis. Their message is one MTV execs should take a look at: It’s an irresponsible message for him to send to his young fans,” McLeod continued.Ĭanadian indie-band, twin-sister duo Tegan and Sara wrote a call to action in May for journalists and colleagues that celebrated Tyler’s music. The reality is that anti-gay slurs are harmful,” GLAAD’s Kimberley McLeod told . ”They have the power to fuel intolerance and hostility. “Whether or not Tyler the Creator intends to offend gay people is irrelevant. Some people might take it the other way I personally don’t give a sh–.”īut regardless of his intent, the words are still problematic. “If you call me a n-a, I really don’t care, but that’s just me, personally. If it offends you, it offends you,” Tyler told MTV News of his gay slurs.

“Well, I have gay fans and they don’t really take it offensive, so I don’t know. I don’t want anyone to think I’m homophobic,” Tyler told NME in an interview earlier this year after the group the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ( GLAAD) said it would be “monitoring his lyrics more closely.” I don’t know, we don’t think about it, we’re just kids. I just think ‘faggot’ hits and hurts people. (This, of course, after Tyler put the microphone up to the hosts mouth as if he was performing fellatio.) His use of the word in his music, interviews and on Twitter is so prevalent that after a “red carpet” interview Sunday during the MTV awards pre-show, one of the hosts joked about looking forward to reading Tyler’s homophobic tweets about the interview. (Tyler uses the exact words “fag” or “faggot” a total of nine times on “Goblin,” according to The Fader). His latest album, “Goblin,” uses the word “faggot” and variants of anti-gay lyrics a total of 213 times, according to NME, a music weekly. Tyler the Creator’s Mom at the MTV Music Video Awards Sunday.īut if you consider all the moms who have gay and lesbian teens who come home crying complaining of the bullying they face in schools, or the moms who have lost their young boys because they couldn’t take it anymore, you really wish that MTV executives would’ve never put Tyler the Creator on the ballot for Best New Artist in the first place.
