Re: Why can’t you criticise
**I think the freedom to educate yourself and form your OWN opinions - no matter what they are - is a basic human right. A right the evil Americans grant their people…lol.
Amreeki’s don’t ban books, education, information, etc. Its accessible.**
Where is the argument here? How can you compare two countries when Pakistan is nowhere as rich as or has the literacy rate as high as America? Everyone in Pakistan who have access to a computer also have all the resources available to them and can do research and form their opinion, who is stopping them?
And since when do American’s don’t ban books, go to any high school or middle school and you’ll see a list of books that are banned for one reason or another. Since I am currently taking Native American class in college, it really opens your eyes regarding all the propaganda that is going on in K-12 education. I don’t remember learning about any criticism against founding fathers of America in elementary-high school.
The point is, glorifying the founding fathers etc. is part of every nation’s agenda so please don’t make this Pakistan vs. rest of the world issue.
I agree with you! But simply responding to the earlier posts about how Amreeka is somehow to blame in all of this as well.
P.S. - Books are usually banned for violence, inappropriate language, etc. Not the way I Am Malala is banned in Malaysia or in private schools in Pakistan.
