Florida Teacher Fired for Stopping Muslim Students Praying [View all]

Good grief! A Florida teacher said she "Believes in Jesus" and stopped Muslim students from Prayer saying they were doing "Magic". Apparently there was video of the incident that has gone viral on TikTok with over 800k views. She stepped over the students and actually stepped on one students hands during the incident.

People can Pray on their own time but it should not be organized and using school time and resources JI7 Dec 2022 #39

No, we have separation of church and state . Is it so difficult for those who want to pray to do it JI7 Dec 2022 #40

I like this idea. intheflow Dec 2022 #44

There are many religions and beliefs and different ways of practicing religion JI7 Dec 2022 #45

That is absolutely not true. intheflow Dec 2022 #46

My point is that a voluntary prayer room will cause conflict between different groups JI7 Dec 2022 #47
