COA video showing a teacher yelling at a student 'shut up or I'll shut you up,' slapping her, and then mistreating another student who was recording the incident went viral. The video originally had text claiming it involved a Fecode teacher in Colombia and linked it to local elections, but this was false. The incident actually occurred in Yoro, Honduras, at the República de Cuba Basic Education Center in Morazán. The teacher, identified as Perla Díaz, was arrested after the video spread, though she was released without prison time while the case proceeds. The Honduran Ministry of Education condemned the act, and the teacher’s defense claimed she has no criminal record and deserves to defend herself freely.

Why objectivity (75): The tone remains informative and corrective, aiming to clarify misinformation. While it presents facts objectively, there is a slight editorializing tone when it states 'el video original corresponde a un incidente registrado' implying verification beyond mere reporting.
