"The heads of my department branded me with a kind of scarlet letter that makes it difficult to do my job or find another one," Stapleton wrote in a note shared on Medium Friday morning. "If I stayed, I didn't just worry that there'd be more public flogging, shunning, and stress, I expected it."
"Izinhloko zomnyango wami zingishicilele ngohlobo lwencwadi ebomvu eyenza kube nzima ukwenza umsebenzi wami noma ukuthola enye," kubhala uStapleton encwadini abelane ngayo kuyiMedium ngoLwesihlanu ekuseni. "Uma ngingahlala, bengingakhathazeki nje ukuthi kuzoba khona ukushaywa okukhulu emphakathini, ukugwema, kanye nengcindezi, kodwa bengikulindele lokho."
