How Do Student Movements Start in Mexico?

I have seen two student movements in my lifetime in Mexico. Summer and Fall 1968, and Spring 2012.

The first started in La Ciudadela, where, after a sports event, students from vocational schools numbers 2 and 5, fought against Isaac Ochoterena high school students. The city police hurt them, and even went inside the school at La Ciudadela plaza, where  instructors were beaten as well. The second movement started at Universidad Iberoamericana, where students confronted the presidential candidate for the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, Enrique Peña Nieto, who completely failed to face their protest.

In both cases the Mexican media blatantly lied about the events, and the students got PRETTY upset.

There is a big difference now though, students OWN the Internet.

Go kids, don't let these assholes bug you!
