Florida Teacher Is Fired After Video Of Her Interrupting Muslim Prayer In Her Office Goes Viral

A Florida teacher was fired after she was apparently caught interrupting Muslim students as they prayed and accusing them of practicing “magic” in a TikTok video that has since gone viral.

The video — which was posted Thursday and has since raked up more than a million likes — shows three students at Franklin Academy, a charter school in Pembroke Pines, performing a prayer as one recites “Surah At-Tin” from the Quran, according to NBC News.

As the students pray, the teacher — who has not been publicly identified — can be heard in the background saying, “Hold on, this is my office and y’all doing all this magic.”

She then seems to then blow a whistle to try and get their attention, and walks directly through their prayers, even appearing to kick one of the student’s hands, according to the clip.

“I believe in Jesus, so I’m interrupting the floor,” the teacher said, before asking again why they were in her office.
