Teach Your Children Well

Tags: ,

Michelle Malkin writes "Ready to gag? Check out this nursery school video from NYC, in which three-year-old toddlers are used as props for an anti-war protest at a local politician's office."

Fahim Khairy reports that children are being used as tools to protest the expulsion of Malalai Joya from parliament: "In a country like Afghanistan where all the educational systems were nearly destroyed throughout the years, where the oldest people cannot even write or read their mother language, how can these younger children be able to decide whom to support politically? Isn’t it a crime to use children for your own agenda? Does Joya ever think that there are people who are closely watching her? Does she think the whole world is filled with fools?"

Khairy continues:
"Joya always speaks in the Farsi language whenever she is inside Afghanistan. On May 25, there were also hundreds of people demonstrating against the expulsion of Joya from the Parliament in the southern province of Jalalabad

First of all, southern people in Afghanistan don’t speak Farsi; they barely understand a single word of it. So how did these people who demonstrated for Joya ever understand Joya’s speeches? Do you see these Burkas; they are newly bought for these women to wear. A poor widowed woman wearing this burka in Afghanistan?
Usually, the slogans are very short sentences so why is the girl reading the slogans from a paper?
Who wrote the slogan for her to say?
Shouldn’t she know what to say when defending Joya and not have to read someone else’s writings?
The bearded men that you see in this picture, they are from the same tribes of Mr. Abdul Jabar Sabet who is currently serving as attorney general of Afghanistan. Sabet was a former member of the Islamic Movement of Gullboddin Hekmatyar, who is on America’s most wanted terrorist list and was the number one enemy of the (United Front) Northern Alliance.

Who knows exactly who is hiding under those new burkas. Could be men or women.

Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Teach Your Children Lyrics

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
