Pembroke Pines teacher fired after video shows praying Muslim students interrupted

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.

“Hold on, this my office, and y’all doing this magic,” the voice says. “I believe in Jesus so I’m interrupting the floor, excuse me.”

A whistle blows and it appears the person, believed to be the teacher, steps over the praying students.
