A New York meteorologist was fired after he said "Martin Luther Coon Park” in reference to a park named after Martin Luther King Jr. He said that using the word was a mistake caused by speaking too fast, and not a malicious use of the racial epithet. Do you think firing him was the right decision or the wrong decision?
