NO!!! to Corrupt Racist as Graduation Speaker

"There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States."

The guy who said that is slated to headline graduation this year.

Accoding to Schmidly's latest:
"This will also lead to creating a UNM"Vicente Fox Chair in Democracy and Development for Latin America."President Fox has kindly agreed to serve as UNM's Spring Commencementspeaker, and I'm happy to report that he will return to UNM inSeptember for a weeklong series of lectures, roundtable discussions andmeetings with faculty, students and alumni."

In addition to his racist comments, Vicente Fox presided over police raping women with impunity in response to social protest.

And also sent federal troops to violently quell indigenous protest in Oaxaca.

But the Vicente Fox Chair is not for Peacefulness and Antiracism...its for Democracy and Development for Latin America.

How did he fare on those counts?

Democracy: Fox and his rightwing party first tried to prevent leftist frontrunner López Obrador from competing in the 2006 presidential elections, then when that met international protest he illegally interefered in the fraud-ridden contest.

Development: Fox's domestic use of the military exacerbated the drug war and has left Mexico on the brink of becoming a failed state.
