Corewell Health accused of ignoring Islamophobic posts by nurse practitioner

[marmar]

(Detroit Metro Times) Corewell Health failed to address a nurse practitioner who publicly described herself as a “proud Islamophobe” and shared social media posts calling for discrimination against Muslims, according to a complaint filed with the state.

The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) announced Wednesday that it filed the complaint with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights on behalf of a Muslim employee who works in a locked neonatal unit at one of the health system’s hospitals. Corewell Health is the largest health system in Michigan, operating dozens of hospitals and employing tens of thousands of workers across the state.

The complaint identifies the coworker as Marley Sollars Shook, a nurse practitioner in OB triage at Beaumont Hospitals, a system that is now part of Corewell Health. According to the complaint, social media posts attributed to Shook include statements identifying herself as a “proud Islamophobe” and calling for Islam to be banned and mosques shut down.

Other shared posts mocked racial and ethnic groups, including two that pictured nooses with the messages, “I am past the point of just wanting them in prison” and “There’s a reason we used to do things the way we did.” ...............(more)
