Bolivian
President Evo Morales opened Wednesday a new regional military
defense school—a kind of anti-School of the Americas—which will
offer courses on a wide range of subjects meant to counter the U.S.
imperialist presence in the developing world, including the Theory of
Imperialism, Geopolitics of Natural Resources and Bolivian Social
Structures.
The new
school, which will be based in the city of Santa Cruz in eastern
Bolivia, and named after former President Juan Jose Torres. will have
an initial enrollment of 100 students. Morales, a socialist and
Bolivia's first Indigenous president, has been a strong critic of US
imperialism in Latin America, and throughout the world.
“Empires,"
he said at Wednesday's ceremony, "exhibit cultural racism
because they do not believe in the popular sovereignty of the
people.”
