Michael Parenti: The 43 college students abducted in Mexico by the police were from a small progressive school that was actively engaged in struggling for social justice. The abduction was a vicious, heartless step toward destroying progressive change in Mexico. The U.S. media largely ignored this horrendous atrocity and when attention was finally given, it was larded over with references to the drug trade, as if the students were involved in the drug war--which they were not. They were involved in something more explosive and challenging: social justice and opposition to the Mexican plutocratic class.---Michael Parenti michaelparenti.org
