Teacher Fired For Stopping Muslims Praying In Her Office

Debates


She didn't like them coming into her office and using their prayer mats to pray towards Mecca or whatever, and I don't blame her:

Situations like that, she should just stare at them while maybe turning up a YouTube dance on her computer while munching a donut. They do get tired, I assume. They tire, they walk out.
I shudda been a school principal!


@JJ-Adams
An example of Sharia law in action?. Just another example of why I want freedom FROM religion, not freedom OF religion.
They are ALL nuts.

The school didn't agree with her interrupting the prayers based on her own religious beliefs. So they fired her.

I don't blame them.

They came into her office and took over the floor.
They had no right to do that.
They can pray anywhere they want as long as they don't encroach on the rights of others.
Don't you see that?

How do you know that? There's nothing suggesting that they weren't given permission to do so. What "rights" a person has in an office is solely at the digression of the employer and in this case her "right" apparently didn't include interrupting these students' prayers because of her own religious beliefs:

""I believe in Jesus so I'm interrupting the floor, excuse me."

Statements Like your second sentence above are typical marauder. Anything to divert from the simple issue. The whole premise here is the disruptive nature of their act, which naturally implies that they were out of bounds So, can you not react to that basic premise and not throw in the simple silly comments?
And average Joe wants to go on the record that someone’s religious beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with the disruptive act. Why they did it is quite irrelevant , be it religious or on a dare.

I'm not sure I should waste further time answering posts as stupid as the ones you constantly make.

The teacher made a reference to "Jesus" before she interrupted the students' prayer. The school obviously didn't find their actions "disruptive" but found hers sufficient reason for termination.

Figure it out, genius.


Let's face it; if this was a Muslim teacher saying "I believe in Allah, so I'm stopping this" to a group of Christian kids doing a Bible reading, right wingers would hardly object to her firing.


It’s a typical case of right-wing stupidity clashing with religious stupidity, mixed up with woke nonsense.

She wouldn't have been fired in that scenario and you know it.

BS.

I don't subscribe to the whole "white Christians are sooooooooooooo persecuted in the US" shtick that right wingers pretend to believe in.


@no1marauder

That's not what I said but thanks for putting words into my mouth.

My point was, we are seeing people getting fired or cancelled using biased guidelines.
