The teacher was expelled from school for playing belly dance with her classmates. Aya Youssef, an Arabic teacher at an Egyptian school, has been fired. Aya, who was part of a group on a cruise from Cairo, danced on the ship.
The video of Aya dancing with her colleagues went viral on social media yesterday. The action is to show that the teacher’s dance is against the sense of morality. The video shows Aya dancing wearing a hijab and a sleeveless blouse and pants.
Following this, there are reports that her husband got a divorce from Aya. Aya was an Arabic teacher at a primary school in the province of Dacalia.
The action of someone without a conscience ruined my life. “The camera was brought in and filmed only to tarnish my image and portray me badly,” she told reporters. She added that legal action would be taken against the person who took the video without her permission.
Meanwhile, conservatives in Egypt were outraged by the teacher’s dancing. Some commented that the standard of education in Egypt was low. Another said that teachers should be role models and that this was a bad example.
At the same time, many have come out in support of Aya. Egyptian women’s rights activists have backed Youssef, accusing him of being a “victim of witchcraft.”
The head of the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights, Dr. Mohd. Nihad Abu Qumsan said. Aya, the deputy director of the secondary school, also shared pictures of her dancing for her daughter’s wedding and declared solidarity.
Protests erupted and the local government intervened and appointed Ayak as an Arabic teacher at a new school.
