El planton continues.... and continues
I did not make it into the city today, mainly because the teachers of Section XXII blocked all the roads. If one looks at a map, one can see there are not really that many major roads in or out of the place and it ain't like they have not been doing this for years. These blockades are old hat. They know the pressure points and they hit them. I am sure I could have gone through back roads and alleys, but mañana. These blockades are a part of life here, but they sure cause chaos and add to the woes.
The teachers voted down the proposal that the government last Tuesday. One of the key sticking points is that they want to get rid of competency testing. Really? Really!

Thanks for the update. I can not understand how the citizens of Oaxaca can be so accepting of the teachers fouling everything up. However I read that some citizens protested in Llano against the blocks and that the business people are marching tomorrow June 3against the strike. Maybe the tide is turning.
