Afghan Girls article

"Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School" is very disturbing and interesting article. This article is about how the Taliban is destroying the The Afghan schools all because they don't believe that girls should get a education. According to the article there has been several attacks against the girls in the school there was a team that used a spray bottle, another a squirt gun, another a jar. They hit 11 girls and 4 teachers. The Taliban was suspected to be the ones behind this but they denied any part of it. The head boss of the school Mr. Qadari tried to comfort the parents by telling them to let there daughters to come back to school, However his three daughters go to school abroad.

I think it is a bit hypocrtitical of Mr. Qadari to tell the parents that it is safe for there children to return to school, when his children are going to school abroad. I think if he really believed that it was safe then his kids would be going to that school instead of going to school abroad. I think that it is very sad that girls have to go through this just because they want a education for themselves. In the article girl who was attacked told the author that her parents are forcing her to go to school even if she dies, so its not like she has a choice if she wants to go or not; All because no other woman in her family has a education which is the case with most of the girls that attend that school. I believe that it is very dumb that the men don't want women to have an education i think that is only not bad for them but bad for the world because it really go's to show how much rowing up some parts need.
