"Disinvite" Vicente Fox from UNM
Sign Now
We the undersigned members of the UNM community wish that Vicente Fox be disinvited from being honored at UNM and speaking at graduation for the following reasons:
Racist statements such as: "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."
To squash social protest in San Salvador Atenco, Fox deployed security forces that imprisoned women, and raped and tortured them with impunity.
Fox presided over federal police violating the human rights of teachers and indigenous protesters in Oaxacawhat Amnesty International called excessive use of force (including lethal force), arbitrary and incommunicado detention, ill-treatment and torture, threats, harassment of human rights defenders and journalists, and violations in due process and the right to fair trial.
Fox and his party were complicit in trying to bar a popular opposition politician from competing in the 2006 election. When that met international protest, Fox illegally interfered in the election. No way should UNM honor Fox for being democratic.

Mr. Fox's record in social, economic, and democratic issues sent Mexico a step backwards; this in addition to his low intellectual level, his racism, and his dishonesty, make them a very unsuitable candidate to give a commencement speech, and to have any
