Mexico redraws modern history books omitting 1964 onward
Mexico's new history texts for schools omit the last three decades of modern history citing political sensitivity. Historians condemn the revision as erasing events from 1968 to the present, including the 1968 student uprising and alleged electoral fraud accusations. Officials defend the choice as reducing controversy while expanding free book distribution to 180 million copies.
