CBS was given access to a school meeting in a basement in Afghanistan. The school allows young women to be educated. This is no longer allowed under Taliban rule, so it's very dangerous. Each of the girls wrote a letter and gave it to CBS to share with the world. This is their voice.
We went inside a secret school in Afghanistan, where more than 30 girls risk being arrested for gathering in the basement of a private home to continue their education under Taliban rule. As we were leaving, their teacher handed CBS New's @ImtiazTyab 21 letters the girls wrote by… pic.twitter.com/nOlEqukvWT

The letters are heartbreaking and show what happens to women under radical Islam.
I missed this.

Good for CBS News for tackling this topic and giving these girls a voice. Much of the world has forgotten about them and just accepted the complete depletion of their rights in Afghanistan. https://t.co/jmZOaIEz4S
This is why many Americans warn against allowing radical Islam to get a foothold in America. It's a slippery slope.

These young women just want basic freedoms like learning and the ability to get a job.
One of the biggest crimes is using our faith to stop the formal education of girls in Afghanistan.

I am one of the millions of people living on this earth. Every day, I see so many people going through their lives with hope and fear, happiness and sadness. Like everyone else, I dream of a life that is fair and full of kindness.… https://t.co/pHAQT2sZUp
These young women just want the same rights women throughout the world have every day.

These girls are risking everything to share their plight with the world.
Baffles me how we (the West) have watched the Middle East basically become an unstable war-torn clusterf**k of a region as a direct result of Muslims doing what their repulsive holy text commands for decades on end...

and decided it was a good idea to welcome them here. https://t.co/mPTLd4FeXe
American Leftists have fooled themselves into believing that Islamic leaders in the United States would never do these things. They underestimate the goals of radical Islam.
