<p><strong>WASHINGTON</strong> – Fake tombstones lined the sidewalk in front of the Department of Education on Friday, reading, “R.I.P Imagination” and “Here lies meaningful instruction. We will miss you.”</p>
<p>The signs were part of Occupy the Department of Education 2.0 protest, which brought students, teachers, professors and educators from all over the country to unite in the “movement to end corporate education reform.”</p>

<p>The news is horrifying. Night after night and day after day, the stories and images convey the violence. A daylight shooting on a tourist strip, the slaughter of innocent young children and mass killings in public places all are the stuff Mexican media feed to their consumers. But increasingly, the stories are about events in the United States and not at home.</p>
