Schoenfeld claims that the clinic never identified the worker she allegedly offended. Schoenfeld said that she was the target of religious harassment due to her Hindu background.
She was accused of witchcraft and bringing demons into the office. Schoenfeld was criticized for practicing yoga and meditation, and for being uninterested in participating in Christian rituals.
