Gerindra Party politicians also urged teachers not to take care and comment too far in affairs that are not the territory of authority including politics. Moreover, if it has the potential to disrupt the unity and unity of the nation.
"No need to take care including commenting on what is not the territory. Not his authority. Everyone must keep everything for the sake of unity and unity," he said.
"Political affairs do not need to be taken care of by teachers. The teacher is the teacher's job to educate. Other matters don't have to be. So I ask that the teacher's business is nothing but to be a good educator," he said.

The anger was poured Ima through his personal twitter account (@imadya).
"A few days ago I saw this post on twitter. And I am surprised that a teacher can post something like this in a group of DKI teachers," he wrote.
In the upload, Ima also included a screenshot of the WhatsApp group "Guru se DKI Jakarta G4".
From the upload, it appears that the teacher distributed a certificate that he called belonging to former Israeli President Shimon Peres.
