The claim
In a shocking video, students with a migrant background riot in a classroom and attack helpless teachers. This school should be located in Vienna.
Our conclusion
As noted by Mimikama in 2019, the video is about an incident that occurred in May 2019 at a school in Brazil. The video therefore does not come from a Viennese school. It cannot be clarified whether the rioting students involved in the video have a migration background.
The video has been circulating on the internet since 2019!
Already in 2019 we reported on exactly the same video in which we see rioting students - allegedly with a migration background. A shocking video allegedly shows them destroying a school classroom and attacking teachers. In 2019, this incident was suspected in various European countries. There is now speculation that these were recordings from Vienna. However, both assumptions are wrong.
The video went viral on several social platforms in 2019 and was met with comments like: "The poor people who fled the war...So I feel sorry for that teacher...and all the people who pay taxes...which the damage has to be paid for..." (sic! ) divided.
We saw it again in October 2022 with the comment: “School in Vienna… what do you call this class?”

The incident didn't happen in Vienna, but in Brazil!
Several Brazilian news agencies revealed that the incident occurred in Brazil in May 2019, at the Maria de Lourdes Teixeira School in Carapicuiba, a municipality in São Paulo.
The case was widely reported at the time and was also reported to the authorities. A possible reason given at the time was a lack of teaching staff and inspections and the resulting disillusionment of students in São Paulo. Something that shouldn't justify the act, however. The rioting students were suspended by the director and some were also detained .
The fact that the video does not come from the Austrian capital can also be seen from the fact that everyone involved speaks Portuguese.
Too often false facts about migrants are shared
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for such videos to be used to make fabricated claims about the behavior of refugees in Europe and, unfortunately, to spread them on a mass scale. Mimikama had already clarified such allegations several times. Whether the students in the class in question have a migration background cannot be clarified from the video either and is purely conjecture.
In addition, the video went viral in several countries, always accusing refugees in France, Belgium, Austria, Spain, etc. of behaving exactly as in the video. Something that isn't true. It's a shame that predominantly negative news makes it to the media. Unfortunately, good examples of well-integrated and helpful immigrants, who make up the majority of all migrants, are becoming much less common.
You can find out that we are not the only fact-checkers making this claim regarding the video from Brazil at APnews , Observador or Journalstar .
Conclusion
As previously reported in 2019 , the video is about an incident that occurred in Brazil in May 2019. The video therefore does not come from Vienna.
It cannot be clarified whether the rioting students involved in the video have a migration background.
