The strikes are occurring primarily in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, and they have
thus far
led to nine deaths, including the death of one
journalist, upwards of 100 injuries, approximately 20 arrests, and the «en masse» termination of many teachers for striking.
Unfortunately, the journalistic practice of relying on questionable press releases is widespread,
thus leading «
journalists» to embellish and promulgate fake science and, of course,
leading to ludicrous fear - mongering.
