This is how our schools used to be in El Salvador: recruitment centers for gang members.
And they weren’t just any gangs, but the most bloodthirsty in the world.
Today, many mothers weep for their children in prison; others, for those in the cemetery or still missing.
Disciplinary measures in schools are meant to prevent this tragedy from happening again.
They say that those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it.
El Salvador will not repeat it, no matter how much they criticize us.
