The Red Bead Experiment

BLOGGER ABUSES TRUST, MISUSES THE LAW AND THE TEACHING OF CHILDREN
CNN has a story on today's website about when it is OK to kill a teacher. Evidently, teaching children can only happen when the Taliban is in power. To teach them while the infadels rule the nation, is to help the infadels. A teacher can be warned by being beaten. But then if they persist in... Sign in to see full entry.
