In Brasília, four military police officers were removed from duty at a civic-military school after a teachers' union claimed that students were coerced into doing push-ups in the courtyard as punishment for not adhering to the school's color code in their clothing. The incident reportedly occurred at the CED 01 educational center in the Itapoã administrative region, where video evidence captured students imitating a police officer's movements during the physical activity, although the officer remained unidentified.

The school administration has denied the allegations, insisting that participation in the activity was voluntary rather than compulsory. In response to the incident, the Military Police of the Federal District (PM-DF) announced that the involved officers were replaced on the date of the occurrence. They also initiated an investigation aimed at thoroughly clarifying the situation and determining if administrative measures would need to be taken against the officers involved.

The PM-DF emphasizes its commitment to not endorsing any practices that could be seen as coercive or harmful to students, reflecting broader concerns regarding the appropriateness of military involvement in educational settings. This situation raises significant questions about disciplinary practices in schools and the role of military personnel in enforcing school regulations, especially in civic-military educational contexts where such practices may come under increased scrutiny.
