Did the institutions she worked at ever enforce any kind of harassment policy against students trying to win her affections? I can't imagine that even in late classical egypt there would have been zero consequences for a student behaving so brazenly inappropriately towards a member of the staff.

well that's commonly seen, even in today's world. Because some people want to be led, they like being lied to by their religious leader.

I don't know much about the current status of British schools. Some of it may depend on how they treat the Empire in history class.

Hypatia's story should serve as a warning to the rest of humanity against becoming involved with religious fanatics.

Ah, Hypatia, one of history's first female teachers. Very ahead of her time and it's a pity that she was murdered but perhaps the world wasn't ready for women in the teaching business in her time.

If someone tried to teach about Hypatia and her murder in US schools, someone would complain about it being "woke" and demand it stop.
