A dentist in Dearborn, Michigan says his occupation dismissal was based mostly on anti-Semitism. In a federal match, Dr. Mark Ellis alleged he was advised not to dress in a yarmulke or tzitzit although on the occupation at Midwestern Dental of Dearborn, in which he was a dental manager, "given that the business office was positioned in Dearborn with a huge percentage of Arabic sufferers," according to a report in The Detroit News. In the match Ellis claimed the organization "permitted Muslim dentists to dress in head covering or other apparel dictated by their religious beliefs," but did not want him to come to perform putting on tzitzit or a kippah. Ellis argued that his civil rights have been violated since he was discriminated towards for his religion. Ellis also alleged he asked his boss to modify his Friday perform schedule so he could arrive residence just before dark. The "defendant reluctantly allowed plaintiff to leave early on Friday," Ellis mentioned, "but continually questioned, ridiculed and harassed him about the legitimacy of his beliefs." Meanwhile Muslim dentists have been allowed "an added hour at lunch to attend prayers at a neighborhood mosque."
