Assignment #2

In my current event it talked about teachers in Acapulco, Mexico who  not show up for the new school year  because of threats and fear for their saftey. Two teachers of the school had be kidnapped just eight days before the new year was about to start. Some teachers said that they had seen men driving around their local elementary school with rifles in their back seats. The teachers who had reported what they had seen made sure that their names be not mentioned for their saftey. My article also talked about teachers had been getting notes from gang members about payrolls.
