Teacher to his students: “Uribe is a genocide”

“I correct something, let’s not talk about ‘Uribe’s week’ because he is a criminal, a genocide, right? That it is being investigated, has in the Constitutional Court more than 208 investigations for massacres, drug trafficking, jabs, ‘false positives’ “, he replied a teacher to a student who called the October break week ‘Uribe week’.

Some citizens call the week of recess, “Uribe week”, because it was in his government, in 2008, when the then Minister of Education Cecilia Vélez White decreed that there would be a week of rest in schools in October to encourage tourism in Colombia.

The teacher’s audio came to the Democratic Center party, which denounced that there is indoctrination by some teachers in the country’s schools.

“Parents must be constant overseers of the education that is imparted to their children, which is sometimes malicious and doctrinal as is the case of the teacher from Chinú (Córdoba) who viciously attacks the name of the former president“Said the party on its Twitter account.

The teacher insisted that his students talk about the week of school recess because “It is not a ‘Uribe week’ or any criminal”.

What was said by this teacher angered several followers of Uribism who asked to identify the man to sue him for slander.

Democratic Center congresswoman Ruby Chagüi wrote on Twitter: “He is misinformed or knowingly misinforms his students. Former President Uribe has investigations, but he has not been convicted of any crime, therefore, everyone’s obligation is to presume his innocence. “
