Moore, Okla._The
superintendent of Moore Public Schools is calling a rumor offensive and
insulting after it was alleged a teacher was fired from MPS after praying for
the safety of their classes and students during the tornado.
Sunday, school
officials said for the past 24 hours rumors have swirled after an Internet
publication made the claim, but also said it had not been confirmed.
MPS posted this
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."
The publication named a teacher saying she was fired for failing to separate
church from state when she prayed out loud in the horrific event.
