The video is also viral on Facebook<\/a> with the same claim.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

We noticed several users pointing<\/a> out that the clip was actually from a Special Broadcasting Service series called ‘The Swap’<\/a>. The show is about 12 students and their families from different religious backgrounds who participate in an experiment where they explore each other\u2019s cultures. We also noticed a logo of SBS at the end of the viral video.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taking a cue from this, we performed a keyword search on Google. Only one episode of the series has been released so far. According to its synopsis, six students from Australia’s largest Islamic school swap places with six students from Catholic colleges and a secular state high school to bridge cross-cultural divides. In the first episode of the series, Ali Kadri, the CEO of the Islamic College of Brisbane (ICB), tries to break down the insularity between different communities, and help his students prepare for the wider world. Kadri can be seen giving a byte in the viral video wherein he says that his students have to learn how not to be rude or abrupt while trying to educate others in their respective values.<\/p>\n
