Evangelical Mexicans Burn LGBT & Communist School Books

Say what you will about Hispanics most of them are good Christians who don't want their children exposed to influences like Marxist indoctrination and homosexuality.

New textbook backlash continues with protests, book burning​


"Protests against the new textbooks being provided for the upcoming school year by the Education Ministry (SEP) continued over the weekend in at least two Mexican states.

In the northern-central state of Aguascalientes, thousands of people marched on Sunday against “the ideological content” of the free textbooks, saying they are laced with “Marxist-communist” indoctrination. Estimating the crowd in the state capital of Aguascalientes at around 12,000 people, newspaper El Universal said many of the protesters were members of parents’ groups and Christian organizations.

Meanwhile, in an evangelical Indigenous community in the southern state of Chiapas, parents set fire to unopened boxes of the textbooks outside Benito Juárez Elementary School, claiming the books teach communism, homosexuality and lesbianism. They demanded the SEP send them the previous textbooks.

The book burning occurred Sunday in San Antonio del Monte, a community of 2,250 within the municipality of San Cristóbal de las Casas, where 99% of residents are Indigenous, 85% speak the Tzotzil language, 17% do not speak Spanish and 16% are illiterate, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INEGI). Almost all of the residents of the town are evangelical Christians, according to newspaper Proceso."
