English Proposal for Madrassas Sparks Pakistan Uproar
The Associated Press reports that "Pakistan's military government announced new laws which would have madrassas . . . introduce subjects like math, science, English and other skills in their syllabus."
Even the excruciatingly politically correct West Wing had a character this year opine that it would be nice if students in madrassas "at least got to look at a globe." (I'll post his full speech later. Both I and National Review Online were taken by surprise that night. BTW, if anyone knows how to find NRO's "The Corner" item on that topic, please me The NRO search engine does not cover "The Corner" (even though it should be read early and often every day).
