Taliban deputy tells leader there is no excuse for education bans on Afghan women and girls
A senior Taliban figure has urged the group’s leader to scrap education bans on Afghan women and girls, saying there is no excuse for them, in a rare public rebuke of government policy.
Sher Abbas Stanikzai, political deputy at the Foreign Ministry, made the remarks in a speech on Saturday in southeastern Khost province.
He told an audience at a religious school ceremony there was no reason to deny education to women and girls, “just as there was no justification for it in the past and there shouldn’t be one at all.”
The government has barred females from education after sixth grade. Last September, there were reports authorities had also stopped medical training and courses for women.

... No fair! And the American Taliban were just gearing up to implement all manner of similar bans and bloodthirsty punishments for uppity wimmin! Government tracking of their ovulation cycles was just the beginning, and interstate transportation of a functional uterus was about to become a capital offense in Texas! They even reupholstered Old Sparky with mauve Naugahyde!
Jeez... you libtards are such party poopers.
For the terminally obtuse...
