Clearly there are some in Iran who hold the same view of the education of girls as that of the Taliban. Yet the Western media constantly portrays the Taliban’s stance as singular and eccentric, as if only that group holds it.

“Hundreds of schoolgirls poisoned in Iran to stop them from getting education: Report,” OpIndia, February 27, 2023:
Iranian state media reported that school girls in Qom city in South Tehran were ‘deliberately’ poisoned in order to restrain education for them. Younes Panahi, the deputy health minister of the country on Sunday also confirmed the news of the poisoning and said that it had been a deliberate attempt with the aim of shutting down education for girls. He, however, said that no arrest has been made in the case.
It is pertinent to note here that earlier, Youssef Nouri, the Minister of Education had called the reports about the poisoning of schoolgirls “rumours”, claiming that the students taken to the hospital had “underlying diseases”.
According to reports, the first such incident was reported in Qom, a deeply conservative and religious city, in November last year. Then the incident of about 18 girls getting ill together in a school in Qom city came to light. They were then taken to the hospital. All the girls reportedly felt difficulty in breathing along with vomiting, abdominal pain and a sharp sensation in their hands and feet.
Subsequently, girls from neighbouring cities also fell sick. Since then, hundreds of cases of respiratory poisoning have been reported among schoolgirls.
On Sunday, Majid Monemi, the deputy governor of Lorestan, said 50 female students of a high school in Borujerd, western Iran, were poisoned again.
“It has been revealed that the chemical compounds used to poison students are not war chemicals, and the poisoned students do not need aggressive treatment, and a large percentage of the chemical agents used are treatable,” he told a press conference.
“After the poisoning of several students in Qom schools, it was found that some people wanted all schools, especially girls’ schools, to be closed,” local media agencies cited IRNA state news agency, which in turn quoted Panahi as saying.
Homayoun Sameh Najafabadi, a member of the health committee of the parliament, also confirmed in an interview with the Didbaniran website that the poisoning of female students in schools of Qom and Borujerd is intentional.
Reports in local media say this could be the work of Islamist fanatics who want to prevent girls from attending school.
According to IRNA, on February 14, parents of the ill students gathered outside the city’s governorate to “demand an explanation” from the authorities.
The next day, government spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi stated the intelligence and education ministries were investigating the cause of poisoning.
Prosecutor General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri launched a judicial investigation into the event last week….

How do they selectively poison girls and not boys? Do they have segregated meals there?
Bruce D Watt says
of course they cant be together
somehistory says
If “hundreds of girls” have “underlying diseases” serious enough to cause them to be hospitalized, someone needs to be serious about an investigation into what is causing so much disease in young iranian girls.
Probably islam.
Hoi Polloi says
“no arrest has been made in the case” Will there be any? I wonder.
So the position is that it’s better to have an invalid now with that single function left intact as necessary for sexual enslavement than to have to wait two years and also be forced to deal with a wife who can think?
Keith O says
I wonder how long it will take for the finger to be pointed at Israel and them nasty Jews for this?
John Smith says
Yes Keith you have a point there.
OLD GUY says
Just how sick can Islam be before the west stops exposing our citizens to this cruel murdering ideology they call a religion. Sick and cruel!
