I was told not to wear my Star of David to work

– HALLIE, DEDHAM, MA

Years ago, I trained as a therapist. During our orientation, I was wearing a Star of David necklace. The clinical supervisor noted it, and very specifically called out that we should not wear jewelry with religious symbolism when working with clients “in case it disturbs the clients.” Frankly, I wouldn’t want to work with clients who didn’t like that I was Jewish anyhow.
