A university in Mexico reported that one of its teachers
suffered a macho attack this week by a man
, identified in the media as his partner, while giving a virtual class to his students, who were connected and attended the scene.
"The Autonomous University of the State of Mexico expresses its absolute rejection of the acts of violence that on April 21 threatened the dignity, autonomy and integrity of the teacher," reads a statement signed by the rector of this institution, Alfredo Barrera Baca .
The events were made known through social networks: students of the victim spread the video that shows her teaching an English class and suddenly a male voice begins to insult her
, accusing her of having taken a computer and a mouse without permission
.

"Let me cut the class."
The teacher also despairs that the students have heard the aggression.
He also says repeatedly: "I'm coming, I'm coming."
