Classmates Set 14-Year-Old Mexican Boy On Fire In Racial Attack

A Mexican student was set on fire and severely burnt in a classroom because his "only crime" was speaking an indigenous language in a country fighting to overcome racial prejudice. Juan Zamorano was just recently released from the hospital. According to his family's lawyers, the 14-year-old had previously been bullied for weeks because of his Indigenous Otomi ancestry, and they had lodged complaints against the suspected assailants and school officials.
