The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On March 17th, the Taliban announced that they would allow female high school students back to school. A week after the announcement, they backtracked on their decision. An education ministry notice informed “all girls' high schools and those schools that have female students above class six that they are off until the next order.” The education ministry explained that schools would reopen after a decision regarding female school uniforms is made based on “Sharia law and Afghan tradition.” The initial announcement of resuming secondary education for girls thrilled many in the nation, but it was not without conditions. The spokesman for the Taliban’s Ministry of Education explained that female students will be assigned in a separate classroom and only be taught by female teachers. Despite the Taliban’s best efforts to have its Islamic Emirate recognized as a legitimate government, most countries, especially western nations, are reluctant. The education of girls and the rights of women are a central sticking point in their relationship to the new rulers of Afghanistan. The Taliban’s sudden U-turn on girl’s education caused deep anger and resentment from many parents and students. Recently a video posted on Twitter went viral which showed a girl crying after being sent home. The girl can be heard sobbing while saying “Mother, they didn’t let me go to school today. They said girls aren’t allowed to go to school.”
