Probably they were involved in making sure illegals got educated or at least that there was education going in Spanish, two things we don't need.

Would it suprise anyone to learn that these school board associates and employees had something that the gangsters wanted? Maybe they were not providing the services these guys needed in our public education system, whatever they were. They say that drugs flow pretty casually in the schools and where hispanics have taken over the public schools, there could be a lot of money at stake. Maybe that's what they were doing there, negotiating some kind of graft involving drug flow or turf in the schools.

I'm not shocked to hear US born travelers to Mexico are finding themselves involved in violence there. Just look at the names and no other explanation is necessary.
The article states that the husband who was shot was born here, but the town in Mexico where he was assassinated was the home town of his wife. She was a doctor in Mexico and was working on her credentials here. They had only been married 2 years and so she would have a big family connection to that town. These weren't the typical drug involved people, at least on the surface. It is quite possible they just were in the wrong place, put with Mexico and all that drug money, who knows. No one's safe there, and so few a innocent yet so many are. Nothing makes sense there.
