“꼼짝 마!”

꼼짝 마가 뭐예요? What is 꼼짝 마? 

"꼼짝" is a kind of mimetic word meaning a sluggish and slow movement. 
And when the imperative ending "-아" is added to the verb "말다", it becomes "마".
So if we put things together, 
“꼼짝 마”
Don’t do any slow movement! Don’t move! Freeze!

Uno de los grandes educadores de México en los años de transición entre los siglos XIX y XX fue el humanista Justo Sierra Méndez, fundador de la Universidad Nacional de México, actual UNAM. Se distinguió por sus ideas positivistas de libertad, orden y progreso que proyectó en la educación mexicana del Porfiriato. Gran escritor y pedagogo de los textos escolares para los niños mexicanos, a quienes inculcó el "amor a la patria".  sus ideas educativas  impulsaron la libertad, el orden y el progreso en la mentalidad de las nuevas generaciones que hicieron la nueva Revolución política y social, que señaló el cambio hacia la modernización de México en el mundo contemporáneo.
En el año 1910, el Maestro Justo Sierra, Ministro de Instrucción Pública de México, creó la Escuela Nacional de Altos Estudios, para la formación de los profesores que requerían las escuelas profesionales; y perfeccionaría la educación superior mexicana a través de las investigaciones científicas en los campos de las humanidades, las ciencias exactas y las ciencias naturales. Y, también fundó la Universidad Nacional de México, la cual inauguró el 22 de septiembre de 1910, en la conmemoración del Centenario de la Revolución de Independencia de México.

La Universidad Nacional de México se conformó con las escuelas Preparatoria, de Jurisprudencia, Medicina, Ingeniería, Bellas Artes y Altos Estudios. Desde entonces se convirtió en el "Alma Mater" de la cultura mexicana. Posteriormente se reorganizó como Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, la más grande de América Latina, y una de las más importantes del Mundo. Su primer Rector fue el Dr. Joaquín Eguía Lis. Otro de sus grandes Rectores fue el humanista José Vasconcelos, el autor de la obra "Raza Cósmica", cuya idea "Por mi raza hablará el espíritu", se convirtió en el lema de la Universidad.
