A video that has been shared on social networks shows an episode at the Center for Scientific and Technological Studies (Cecyt) Number 8 of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), in Mexico.
There, it can be seen how a group of students confronted a teacher accused of harassment. This situation has generated debate and concern about the safety of students in educational institutions.
In the video you can see a group of young people, apparently students from Cecyt Number 8, confronting the teacher and directly accusing him of harassing students and teachers.
The young women, with their faces covered, pointed out the teacher for alleged acts of harassment and threats, including alleged inappropriate relationships with minors.

The violent act carried out by the students arises from previous complaints to the institute’s directives. They claimed that the complaints had not been dealt with correctly.
In addition, new testimonies from other women who studied at the institution have come to light.corroborating the alleged existence of harassment and pointing out the lack of effective actions by the authorities.
The truth is that the situation has generated a wide debate on social networks. On the one hand, there are those who consider that taking justice into one’s own hands only brings more violence, while others applauded the young women, ensuring that no one would have done anything.
