Teachers were threatened by the Mural of Shame
It was last Tuesday, March 7, when students from Tapachula High School 01 placed a “Mural of Shame” in the framework of International Women’s Day, on the outskirts of said institution, All this was done anonymously and with the aim of evidencing the violence experienced by teachers in this school.
The students pointed out that at first the mural was placed inside the school, but the director ordered it removed, so they chose to install it on the outside walls, to make it known to the public what happens inside the institution.
They accused that in High School Number One the directors and the teachers cover each other, since there have been complaints against the teachers for many years and nothing has happened.
They assured that as students they will not stop until the authorities in charge of doing justice punish their aggressors, because generations go by and they do nothing against the designated teachers, even the most respected teachers are involved. The young women did not expect sexual assault or misogynistic words from him, however, no one stops all men who violate women, they warned.
