Iran Teaches It’s Children to Hate

Discrimination and Intolerance in Iran’s Textbooks is a careful scholarly analysis of the teaching material which the Iranian regime is using to instill bigotry and hatred into it’s children from an early age.

The study was conducted by a team of native Farsi speakers, led by Dr. Saeed Paivandi.

This report is based on a detailed assessment of 95 compulsory school textbooks used by students in grades one to eleven.

According to the report, the Islamic government of Iran is teaching the country’s children to discriminate against women and minorities, to view non-Muslims with suspicion if not contempt, and to perpetuate the regime’s theocratic ideology.

With propaganda like this used as early as the first grade, it is not at all surprising that freedom and prosperity in Iran have been steadily declining since the violent 1979 takeover of the government by Islamist radicals.

We can only hope that the good men and women of Iran are, at home, teaching their children better values than hatred and martyrdom.
