A South Florida teacher is out of a job after a video posted on social media appeared to show her interrupting Muslim students as they were praying.

The alleged incident happened at Franklin Academy, a public charter school in Pembroke Pines.

The viral video was posted on TikTok on Wednesday and shows two Muslim students reciting a prayer in Arabic when they’re interrupted by a female voice.
