The Brooklyn Reporter has put a poll on Facebook asking readers to vote on whether Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus did the right thing by firing a staff member who shared an anti-Asian message on Facebook urging shoppers to avoid Chinese businesses during the coronavirus epidemic.
Marilyn Franks, who worked as a receptionist in Frontus’ Coney Island district office, was canned after she shared a Facebook message reading “We urge citizens to stay away from Chinese supermarkets, shops, fast food outlets, Restaurant (sic) and Business.”
