#1 The others are simply too undernourished, impoverished or woke.

#2 Their fate has not been clarified and the Islamic scholars agree that it is OK to educate women. Officials say that girls are not banned, but they remain out of school. If their father’s are not well connected, female students are hunted down for marriage. Leftist NGOs make statements saying this is not a good idea.

Eventually, Christians will husband assets to provide for online schooling. I am surprised it has not already happened. If it is, I don’t want to know any details.

#3 Evidently their 20+ year experiment with human rights and democracy didn't take. Surely someone in Washington could have predicted such an outcome.

Historical reference and middle Eastern religions, why do they hate us ?

#4 The Old Swamp: Make the world safe for democracy
The New Swamp: Democracy, what's that. [Oh, if we don't like it, we'll call up Websters to change the meaning.]

#5 Duchamp as the pinnacle of Western Art and Culture?

I'd stop paying attention too, nevermind the facilities being Woke. Not interested in my daughter learning the 57 Genders or Tranny Poetry Slam either.

#6  Officials say that girls are not banned, but they remain out of school.

Indeed. De facto versus de jure, or Alice in Wonderland’s “Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today.” Just like the “interim government” of the conquering Taliban will never be replaced via the promised elections. So long as the masses keep quiet while waiting forever — it’s clearly an effective technique much favoured by Allah, the father of lies.

There was a women-run radio station in Badakhshan that was providing school lessons over the air. The Taliban government shut it down the other day, claiming they were playing forbidden singing during Ramadan.

On-line school lessons for girls would be an ink blot kind of thing, as most Afghans do not have computers or internet access.

#7 Let me pull on my Nomex jumpsuit and play Devil's Advocate:
Are the Taliban behind the curve on this, or ahead of it? Here in the West, the results from sending girls to school have been kind of a mixed bag.

#8 That's what I understand is the womens' schools were offering the latest in enlightened Western Woman education.

The field trip exercise demonstrating that indeed women can be men should be pay-per-view.
