A former dental assistant at Milwaukee-based Precision Dental MKE alleges she was terminated after supporting for President Donald Trump in a comment on a Facebook post, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Robyn Polak posted "MAGA 2020" on a Facebook news story detailing an upcoming rally for President Trump in Milwaukee. Shortly after making the post, she claims that a patient found Precision Dental MKE's Facebook page and posted a negative review of her and the practice.
In the Facebook post, the person said, "employees spouting [sic] racist comments on Facebook." Ms. Polak denies these allegations. However, after the negative review was posted about Precision Dental MKE, Ms. Polak claims the practice fired her.
Precision Dental MKE said that they couldn't legally discuss the issue with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, the practice did release the following statement.
"Precision Dental MKE believes in the privacy of an employee's terms of employment, retention or discharge," the statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said. "As a matter of course, Precision Dental MKE does not discuss employee personnel matters. Precision Dental MKE believes dentistry is nonpolitical."
"We can confirm, however, that no employee has ever been terminated for their political beliefs or their support or opposition of the President or any political candidate."
Currently, the Facebook page for Precision Dental MKE is unavailable. Additionally, the practice's Google review page has been flooded with postings, many of them negative and citing the alleged termination as wrong.
