Michelle Malkin highlights the struggle in Pakistan to educate girls. ABC news cites stats that Pakistan’s illiteracy rates for girls of primary school age in South Asia is one of the lowest at 60%:
In what appears to be an escalating spree over the last year, extremists have bombed at least four girls' schools and circulated violent threats warning girls to stay at home. While no girls or school staff have been killed, girls in some areas have stopped attending classes – marking a direct blow to Pakistan's national enterprise of "enlightened moderation," which posits female education as a central pillar.
So multiculturalists, what do you think? Are all cultures completely equal with traditions worth preserving?
