JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria reminded that the case of teachers in DKI Jakarta who make fake news (hoaks) related to the Palestinian and Israeli conflicts is used as a lesson. Teachers should be role models.

"We ask that anyone, let alone a teacher, should be aware of the regulation, sopnya, ethics, attitude, behavior, should be an example," said Riza in South Jakarta, reported antara, Wednesday, May 26.

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.

Riza ensured that the Education Office of DKI Jakarta had reprimanded the teacher.

He expects this to be a lesson for all teachers in DKI Jakarta so that the main task of teachers as educators, especially in the corridors of unity and unity of the nation becomes the main concern of all elements of education.

Earlier, a teacher's group WhatsApp message responding to the Palestinian and Israeli conflicts went viral on social media.

The virality of the upload originated from a member of the DKI Jakarta Legislative Assembly, Ima Mahdiah, who was furious with the message in the conversation group of a teacher's application that was considered to spread slander.

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.
