Ex-Air Force contractor says Christian co-workers called her a ‘Hindu witch’ before she was fired

A former Air Force contractor has filed a lawsuit against a dental clinic in Fort Meade, Maryland for allegedly harassing and firing her for following the Hindu religion, the Air Force Times reported.

Deborah Schoenfeld said she was fired on Sept. 2, the same day she filed a formal complaint regarding the bullying to which she was allegedly subjected during her time working at Epes Dental Clinic by fellow staff members.

Attorneys for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) contacted officials at the base saying that Schoenfeld was accused of “witchcraft” and “bringing demons into the office,” while also being called a “Hindu witch.”

The suit also argued that Schoenfeld was not allowed to know who made the accusations against her, but that she was told by her superiors to pray against the Supreme Court decision striking down bans on same-sex marriage, a decision described against “an abomination to their religion.”
