The teacher has been named a suspect by the Gorontalo Police.

A smaller but vocal group suggests the entire video might be fabricated using AI or deepfake technology. Given how quickly the video spread, some believe it is a smear campaign against the school or the student council.

We will continue to update this story as official statements from the Gorontalo Police Department are released. For now, the public is urged to stop spreading the video and let the authorities do their work.

In the video, the OSIS leader, identified only as "Rizky" (initials R.A.), is seen bowing his head as he speaks with a male teacher, Pak Budi. Witnesses say that Rizky was not being punished. Rather, he was presenting a proposal for a student-led "Teacher Appreciation Day" and apologizing on behalf of the student body for several recent incidents of minor indiscipline.

From a sociological perspective, this incident is a microcosm of a global shift. Generation Z and Alpha, raised on TikTok and Instagram, value horizontal communication and performative authenticity over vertical deference. For the viral Ketua Osis, recording the confrontation was likely an act of self-defense or transparency. For the teacher, the presence of a smartphone camera felt like an ambush. The tragedy of Gorontalo is not that they disagreed, but that they disagreed on camera. The medium became the message: the student won the court of public opinion, but the teacher lost the classroom.
