Americans ignore the mass murder of students that is roiling Mexico

The violent disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers college in Guerrero state has caused a political earthquake the likes of which Mexico has not seen in generations — perhaps even since the revolution of 1910. That makes it all the more baffling how little attention most people in the U.S. have paid to the unfolding tragedy.

To understand the historical significance — and the moral and political gravity — of what is occurring, think of 9/11, of Sandy Hook, of the day JFK was assassinated. Mexico is a nation in shock — horrified, pained, bewildered.

Mexico is on the brink. So why is America oblivious?

because apparently you can only care about one tragedy at a time according to tumblr.

Tumblr is what you make of it. If you want to be kept up to date on Mexico (or Russia, Latin America, Italy, Burkina Faso, etc.), follow people who are blogging about Mexico (or Russia, Latin America, Italy, Burkina Faso, etc.).
