Professor sues Wal-Mart over 'clean toilets' description

Posted online

A Montana State University professor filed suit against Wal-Mart for libel.

Gilbert Kalonde claims an employee at a store in Bozeman listed his occupation as “clean toilets” in the state database when Kalonde bought a state fishing license in April 2015.

According to the suit, Kalonde was exposed to “hatred, contempt, ridicule” through the incident.

Wal-Mart spokesman Ragan Dickens told The Associated Press: “To our knowledge, an administrative process to resolve this with Dr. Kalonde is ongoing. We’ve not been served with the lawsuit, but we take the claims seriously and will respond appropriately with the court.”
