Kindergarten Teachers Fired After Beer-Drinking Video Goes Viral

In Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Mexico, a viral video sparked a heated debate after showing teachers and staff from the "María Esther Rodríguez Meza" kindergarten consuming beer on school property outside of school hours. The video, which quickly spread on social media, prompted a formal complaint from a group calling themselves "Padres Vigilantes" (Vigilant Parents). "We believe this behavior sets a bad example for the children," said one parent who wished to remain anonymous. The Campeche Ministry of Education responded swiftly, dismissing the three employees involved. However, this decision has been met with resistance from some parents who support the teachers. "They are excellent educators and we were never consulted about this decision," stated another parent. The incident highlights the complexities of balancing disciplinary actions with parental involvement in educational matters. The situation remains unresolved, with parents continuing to call for the teachers' reinstatement.
