publication made the claim, but also said it had not been confirmed.

statement to their Facebook page.
"Moore Public Schools
wishes to confirm that no teacher was fired from MPS.
Moore public schools
is saddened that this type of rumor has even been circulated. Please help us
dispel this false rumor as many MPS employees, teachers and administrators were
praying before and during the tornado strikes, and will continue to do so
throughout the recovery process for both our district and our community."

church from state when she prayed out loud in the horrific event.
