A Florida teacher has been fired for interrupting and “bullying” Muslim students as they prayed in her office. Why they were in her office praying in the first place is still a question that we would like the answer to…
On Wednesday, the Franklin Academy educator walked into her office where she found students on the floor praying to “Allah.”
In a video posted online, the teacher can be heard telling the students, “Hold on, this my office, and y’all doing this magic? I believe in Jesus so I’m interrupting the floor, excuse me.”
WATCH:
WPLG reports that the incident triggered the Florida chapter CAIR to get involved, accusing the teacher of bullying and hatred.
WPLG reported:
A Broward County teacher was fired after a video of her interrupting Muslim students while in prayer went viral.
The teacher, who has not yet been identified, worked at Franklin Academy, a charter school in Pembroke Pines.
The video starts with tranquil music and a couple of boys reciting an Islamic prayer in Arabic.
Shortly after, you can hear the teacher saying, “Hold on, this in my office and y’all doing this magic?”
A woman identified as another teacher barges in and starts blowing a whistle.
The teacher is then heard saying, “I believe in Jesus so I’m interrupting the floor.”
The same teacher appeared to step or kick the boys’ hands as she walked over their mats.
The video was posted on TikTok Wednesday and has already racked up over five million views.
Council on American and Islamic Relations (CAIR) spokesperson Wilfredo Ruiz, told Local 10 News’ that the video was “repulsive” that the teacher was clearly bullying.
“To see a teacher expressing so much hate and bullying students when teachers are supposed to be the ones that protect the students and protect their good doings, such as this one,” Ruiz said.
Again, I ask, why were the students in her office to begin with? And why were they recording? It smells like a setup if you ask me. Would they still feel the same way if the students were Christian and decided to have a worship session in a Muslim teachers’ office?
This is not a black and white case in the slightest.
