An Alabama woman has filed a Federal Law Suit against her former employer – Dr. Susan Wells - a dentist – after being forced to study Church of Scientology materials whilst at work.
When she complained – she was fired.
The woman, Cortnie L. Beasley, called a local radio show to report that she objected to being required to read the controversial works of L Ron Hubbard as part of her job. They were totally irrelevant to her duties as an Insurance Billing Clerk and she felt as though her employer was trying to indoctrinate her into the cult.
She's seeking compensation and punitive damages. She has also alleged a hostile work environment.

Beasley says she's a Baptist by faith.

This is not the first time that this has happened in the US. In 2006, Federal Officials reported that a receptionist for a dentist in Texas (Dr K. Mike Dossett) complained after being forced to study Scientology during mandatory after-work meetings. She also told legal official that she was told to “increase business by concentrating on her phone to make it ring by telepathy”!
Jessica Uretsky said she was fired when she refused to adopt the practices of Scientology. She explained that after the workday was over, Dr. Dossett would often gather his employees together to “preach” from the book, “What is Scientology?” by its founder L. Ron Hubbard.
