Yale Reinstates Worker who Broke Stained-Glass Window

Share this article

*sigh* Yale is reinstating the worker who smashed a stained-glass window due to being offended by it.

In early June, Menafee had smashed out an “offensive” stained-glass window because it featured slave carrying bales of cotton. It was later revealed that he was informed about the window by a Yale alumnus who told him “no employee should be subject to coming to work and seeing slave portraits on a daily basis.”

Though Menafee resigned after the incident, the Yale Daily News reported this past weekend that the former employee said he wanted his job back.

And now, Yale has indulged him.
