A former teacher says she was fired from her job after she was seen dancing with her students in a TikTok: 'It was so PG'

• Jania Ashay said she was fired after her students danced.

• The principal called her "unprofessional" and fired her the next day.

• An apology letter was written by the student who asked Ashay to record the TikTok.

A woman said she was fired from her job as a student teacher after a video of her dancing with her students was posted.

Jania Ashay says she was fired last year after she was recorded dancing to an edited version of "Beez in" in a TikTok video.

The original video shows Ashay welcoming a few students into her classroom to eat lunch. The students asked Ashay if she would record a TikTok with them.

They weren't supposed to have their phone out at lunch, but we were just chilling.

According to Ashay, the students were called into the principal's office the next day to take down the video, which had amassed over 185,000 views, and were told not to tell her why she would be called into the office later.

"This was a simple little dance, but the edited version was what I liked the most," said Ashay. I'm a dancer and I wasn't shaking anything.

According to Ashay, she was treated like a child by the principal and was taken to human resources, where she was terminated.

A week after Ashay was fired, the student who asked her to make the TikTok video wrote an apology letter, wishing her the best, and stated that no one told her to write the letter.

The student apologized in the letter. "I really need you to stay, you have always made sure I'm okay before I do, you even made sure I'm okay when I should've asked you the same question."

According to a TikTok video, Ashay was still under contract with the school and would be able to finish out the remainder of the school year.

Ashay shared on TikTok that she doesn't hold any hard feelings towards the administration or students, even though she was fired. She says she wouldn't be in her current position if she hadn't been fired.

I'm not angry at the principal. If you're watching, I'm not mad at you because you were doing what you needed to do. I was taken to the next level by God's use of you.
