A woman in Alabama was fired a week after being hired by a dentist for allegedly refusing to read a book by… who else?

In a federal suit filed Tuesday, Cortnie L. Beasley claims Dr. Susan Wells required her to read a book by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology. Beasley says she’s a Baptist.

Wells’ office said she had patients Friday was not immediately available for comment.

Beasley’s suit claims she was asked to sign a staff training waiver allowing her to be trained on the Scientology teachings during work hours. She began working as an insurance billing clerk on Oct. 15, and was fired Oct. 22.
