An Ohio dentist has sparked debate on Twitter over a dress code she's put in place for patients entering her office.
According to the Atlanta Black Star, a Black dentist, identified as Dr. Sutton on social media, put up a sign in her office that reads: “No Bonnets, No House Shoes, No Pajama Bottoms."
A photo of the sign shared on Twitter garnered over 5 million views and mixed reactions from social media users.
Some users described the doctor's rules as anti-Black and racist.
"I just want to know how house shoes, a bonnet, & pajama bottoms keep this dentist from doing her job. There is no logical reason for a healthcare provider to have a dress code for their patients. Why is this dentist more worried about their outfits than their oral health?" one Twitter user said.
"At this point put up a sign that say whites only," another wrote.
Other Twitter users praised the dentist for setting standards for her practice.
"Why is this perceived as anti-black? Maybe she’s trying to uplift by holding sisters to a higher standard," a Twitter user wrote.
"Let her run her business how she wants, some of you should learn how to leave your house looking presentable," another user chimed in.
