Battle for school books in Mexico
The new books that the Mexican government delivers for school education sparked a battle between leftist President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his detractors, who have burned copies and taken the case to the highest court.
Alleging that they promote communism, homosexuality and are plagued by pedagogical failures and blunders, critics demand that the government refrain from distributing the texts, when some 25 million basic education students were beginning the school year.
The books also generated protests in Aguascalientes (center), a state governed by the PAN, where thousands marched last Sunday claiming that they spread “Marxist ideologies.”
