Tweet says white women raise sons to become 'rapists,' 'killers.' IU Health investigates

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University Health is investigating a controversial tweet allegedly sent by a nurse who works for the organization.

The tweet, from an account named Night Nurse that has been linked to an employee named Taiyesha Baker, said: "Every white woman raises a detriment to society when they raise a son. Someone with the HIGHEST propensity to be a terrorist, rapist, racist, killer, and domestic violence all star. Historically every son you had should be sacrificed to the wolves B----"

The account, @tai_fieri, was deleted and appears to have been recreated by a different user who posted new tweets Saturday.

IU Health spokesman Jason Fechner confirmed that Baker worked for the health system when the tweet was posted. He said human resources is investigating and will take appropriate action based on what it finds. He did not elaborate on the protocol for the investigation.

“IU Health is aware of several troubling posts on social media which appear to be from a recently hired IU Health employee," Fechner said in a statement. "Our HR department continues to investigate the situation and the authenticity of the posts. During the investigation, that employee (who does not work at Riley Hospital for Children) will have no access to patient care.”
