Afghan schoolgirls are finishing sixth grade in tears. Under Taliban rule, their education is over

Imagine looking around that classroom and thinking "All is right with this".

If you raise your kids to believe in Allah you are setting up your grandchildren to live like this. Oppose religion, wherever you see it.

religion sucks, conservatism sucks. that shit is so old.

Absolutely reprehensible and repulsive. Sick fuckers are so scared of women that they will not let them be educated. Fuck those backwards ass sexist monsters. Indefensible

No where in Islam does it say that girls are not allowed to study, what a fucking bunch of dimwits these people are..

Edit: Narcissist would be the right word here

Fucking incel losers, this Taliban.

learning is never over. No matter how hard authoritarians try.

I'll never forget, a few years into the war I asked what my Afghani colleague thought of the war. He told me "I hate the Taliban. When I was a boy they came to my village and slit all the men's throats. NOT a few of the men. ALL of the men." Leaving those people to suffer that regime was a greater crime than any we committed in the 20 years of occupation.

This is exactly what the alt-right Christian fucks want. I'm surprised that they don't realize how much in common they have with the Taliban.

No words to describe this stupidity.

My initial thought experiment on this was "could these girls migrate to the west on a visa to complete their studies and return?", and then I went down the rabbit hole of the demographics of Afghanistan. Of a population of around 40m, 46% are under 15, which is mad! That's potentially a lot of girls that will lose an education.

I wonder if a remote education could be the way forward? Let these girls study remotely online, assuming they have some form of internet access available, and create a worldwide visa that would allow any Afghan girl that can pass a standard entry exam to attend university. While we have no need to provide children from another country an education, this would probably be a low-cost solution, and one that I imagine many rich philanthropists would happily provide as a grant.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In September 2021, a month after U.S. and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan following two decades of war, the Taliban announced that girls were barred from studying beyond sixth grade.

The Taliban have defied global condemnation and warnings that the restrictions will make it almost impossible for them to gain recognition as the country’s legitimate rulers.

Last week, U.N. special envoy Roza Otunbayeva expressed concern that a generation of Afghan girls is falling behind with each day that passes.

Last week, an official in the Education Ministry said Afghan girls of all ages are allowed to study in religious schools known as madrassas, which have traditionally been boys-only.

In another part of Kabul, 13-year old Setayesh Sahibzada wonders what the future holds for her.

Analyst Muhammad Saleem Paigir warned that excluding women and girls from education will be disastrous for Afghanistan.

Ahh, the taliban, or the brave mujahideen fighters, of course, are being religious fanatics again! Who could've guessed! I'm sure when I look into this comment section, I'm going to see lots of people doing historical and contextual analysis, and maybe even some religious analysis, as to why this is the case! I'm sure I won't see bigotry directed at muslims in general for being the victims of politically conservative radicalizing oil wars! I'm sure everyone will have a totally rational opinion on this!

FAFO portion of messing around with Afghanistan for decades.

the taliban suck, for sure. that said, i’d have been thrilled if i’d not had to go back to school, even tho i got good grades. i certainly wouldn’t have been “in tears” more like having a tiny party,

For the bigots out here, this is just the Taliban being incels. Nothing related to religion, if anything a lack of religious knowledge.

That's just the multipolar world kicking in.

USA should have never left and should return to end terrorism of taliban

Should be raining switchblade drones on their leadership until they learn to behave. Let them play 13th century games on a modern battlefield without the courtesy of putting ourselves in AK-47 or exploding vest range.
