The participants in the 11th biennial conference of the Radical Philosophy Association at Stony Brook University, New York, released a statement denouncing the recent disappearance and assassination of student activists in Mexico, including the murder of six students and onlookers in Iguala, Guerrero on September 26 and the disappearance of 43 students belonging to Escuela Normal “Raúl Isidro Burgos” of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, at the hands of local police.
According to the statement, “The Radical Philosophy Association joins with hundreds of thousands of Mexicans in denouncing the complicity of the Mexican government at all levels with the organized crime group who carried out these murders and disappearances. The RPA also denounces the complicity of the US government which, through its “war on drugs,” aids the criminal groups.”
Whittier College Professor Michele Switzer is an active member of the RPA.
