• Pakistani private schools hate Malala

    Guess what kids are learning in Pakistan — ungratefulness:

    A network of private schools on Monday unleashed a scathing public attack on Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Nobel laureate, in the most concerted assault yet on her reputation in her home country.

    The All Pakistan Private Schools Federation, which claims to represent 150,000 schools across Pakistan, declared that Monday would be “I am not Malala” day and urged the government to ban her memoir, “I Am Malala,” because it offended Islam and the “ideology of Pakistan.”

    […]

    During the news conference on Monday, Mr. Ali accused Ms. Yousafzai of defending the author Salman Rushdie, whose novel “The Satanic Verses” remains banned in Pakistan, in her book.

    “It is clear that Malala has a nexus with Salman Rushdie and is aligned with his club,” he said.

    Yes — the sane club. Who wouldn’t want to belong? Ohh, yeah: collectivists!
