Supreme Court declines to hear case involving racial slur in workplace By Melissa Quinn Supreme Court weighs teen s free speech case

Collier said supervisors ignored complaints about a carving of the N-word on the wall of an elevator he and other hospital workers often used. In rejecting the case, a ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of the hospital remains intact.
