(CBC) A letter signed by four provincial and national Muslim associations says a doctor accused of making racist comments violated several professional standards, and criticizes Memorial University’s response to the incidents.
Zachary Kuehner, a second-year resident at the school, came under fire for his use of the word “Islamophobe” in his Twitter bio, and for arguments about the Black Lives Matter movement.
A group of undergraduate medical students wrote a letter to the school to express their dismay. Now the National Council of Canadian Muslims has spearheaded a letter to the dean of medicine, Margaret Steele.
“Given the circumstances, it is clear that Dr. Kuehner does not meet the professional standards of training as a family physician,” says the letter.
