A Michigan hospital on Tuesday admitted that it had considered honoring a man’s request that no African-American nurses care for his baby, but it insisted that the idea was eventually rejected.

Tonya Battle, who has worked as a nurse at Hurley Medical Center for 25 years, told the Detroit Free Press that she is suing the hospital because she says she was reassigned after a man instructed staff to allow no African-Americans around his newborn.

The charge nurse reportedly told Battle that the man had rolled up his sleeve to reveal a swastika tattoo.

WJRT obtained a copy of a sign that was allegedly posted above the the assignment clipboard.

“Please, No African American Nurses to care for [redacted] Baby per Dad’s request,” the note read.
