CHIHUAHUA, 11 of November.- Hundreds of teachers for the state are being extorted by criminals who demand 50% of their tuition and threaten to hurt or kill faculty,students and family members of the alumni unless they pay a Cuota.
The threats have been issued against the schools of least 10 municipalities in the region, including those in ciudad de Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez.
Banners began to appear about a week ago around schools in Ciudad Juárez and in a neighborhood where a lot of the local teachers reside in, near the capital.
Some of the schools have been forced to close their doors because of a lack of students. The low attendance rates were exacerbated when parents began withdrawing their children recently after these threats started to appear in the form of banners and scrawled across the outside walls and inside the school hallways.

That is disgusting. Schools are shutting down because of these thugs and low attendance. Mexico is creating a nation of illiterates for itself.
