Assemblywoman Frontus Fired Staffer
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus’ staffer, Marilyn Franks, shared this post on Facebook. Ughhhh!
Yesterday, Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus apologized for the message and said that Franks will undergo cultural sensitivity training. Update 3/5 : Story here
Frontus said in a statement. “This message violates the core values of my office, and this staffer has been warned and ordered to desist, and will complete additional cultural sensitivity training. Crisis can bring out latent fears and prejudices, but that is when it is most important for us to come together. Ignorance is no excuse for spreading hateful messages.”
Then this guy added to the problem by saying Assemblywoman Frontus shouldn’t have apologized. See here He lost his position on March 4th. See here
Today, Wednesday, March 4th, Assemblywoman Frontus fired Franks and issued this statement (see larger here):
Dr. Frontus has been clear from the very start. She won’t tolerate any hate towards anyone. Hopefully, the Spring will bring some good bills and a peaceful office for Dr. Frontus.
Hugs,
