PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida teacher was fired after a viral TikTok appeared to point out her interrupting Muslim college students as they prayed.
NBC Miami reported the teacher labored for a public constitution faculty in Pembroke Pines referred to as Franklin Academy. The teacher’s title has not been launched.
The TikTookay video, posted Wednesday, shows two college students kneeling on the ground and reciting a prayer in Arabic.
“Hold on, this my office, and y’all doing this magic,” a feminine voice mentioned. “I believe in Jesus so I’m interrupting the floor, excuse me.”
The girl – who’s believed to be the teacher – steps over the boys and blows a whistle.
“And why are they in my office?” she requested. “Who told them to come in here?”
The unique poster of the TikTookay later added a remark to make clear what occurred.
“To clear up, we asked two teachers if we can go pray and they allowed us into the room that we were in,” TikTookay consumer @gawpu wrote. “Everything was fine until she walked in.”
In an announcement to NBC Miami, Franklin Academy mentioned they started investigating after they discovered in regards to the video.
“Yesterday, a very troubling TikTok video was shared with our leadership team. The video appears to show a teacher interrupting students during a moment of prayer,” faculty officers instructed NBC Miami. “Upon receipt of the video, organizational and school leadership began immediately investigating the situation.”
Franklin Academy officers went on to say the teacher is not employed on the faculty.
“Franklin Academy does not tolerate discriminatory behavior,” the assertion mentioned.
