Mexican authorities say six people were killed and 53 were injured when a teachers' union protest in the southern state of Oaxaca turned violent.

Police say the demonstration against education reforms in the town of Asuncion Nochixtlan was infiltrated by armed individuals who shot at officers and threw Molotov cocktails.

The violence broke out Sunday when police attempted to remove the National Education Workers Coordinator, or CNTE, teachers who were blocking a highway.

State Governor Gabino Cue said most of those who died were young people. Two had ties to CNTE.

Mexico has had nearly 100 years to stew in its statism, collectivism and socialist policies.

All unions, particularly protected government ones, will steadily be infiltrated by the most hard-core collectivist, radical elements if allowed. Obama has ramped up this process in the USA.

Attend a meeting of SIEU or NEA and you will see all kinds of leftist radicals and their extreme, often bizarre, agendas

I worked for a public employee union and I saw the radicalism firsthand.
