They can learn to read, which millions of them are also doing, and which they were not allowed to do under the Taliban. This activist is a fool.

You have to understand the far-left liberal mindset:
Gulags and death camps aren't so bad as long as they're OUR gulags, run by OUR people. It takes a village you see...even a Taliban one.
