Six people are dead and more than 100 others wounded in protests over education reforms in Mexico.

“Teachers canceled classes in Oaxaca on Monday after the violence, where protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails and set vehicles ablaze,” writes Joshua Partlow, the Washington Post’s bureau chief in Mexico. “Witnesses reported that police fired into the crowds.”
