WI Children’s Hospital Rejected Christmas Toy Donations Because of ‘Religious’ Org Name (Then Apologized)

This story is close-ish to home for this writer: back in 2013, her youngest son had hernia repair surgery at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin (CHoW). They did good work and she’s grateful for it. But there have been some issues with CHoW: a few years ago, Dr. Barbara Knox — then head University of Wisconsin’s Child Protection Program and CHoW’s ‘child abuse pediatrician’ — accused several families of child abuse, despite those claims being rejected by CPS and law enforcement. Knox was suspended and eventually left CHow in 2019 (she went to Alaska, where similar accusations appear to have followed her).
