[xmca] BBC: El Salvador marks Archbishop Oscar Romero's murder

[Tony Whitson <twhitson@UDel.Edu>]

Thirty years ago on March 24, Archbishop Oscar Romero was murdered while 
celebrating Mass, an event being commemorated now in El Salvador.

( See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8580840.stm )

A week ago In Texas, Romero, a champion of the poor, was removed from the 
state's social studies standards by the State Board of Education.

One Board member said Romero's not important enought, arguing that 
he doesn't even have a movie made about him.

Well, there is the movie featured at
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098219/ , but the TX BD member might have 
been confused by that movie's title: "Romero".
