Blog #6: Iran’s Kindergarteners to Get Lessons in Chastity, Modesty

Within this article, Iran has been working on teaching lessons about sexual chastity as well as abstinence into the school department for kindergarteners.  In addition, the curriculum will include knowledge of how to dress modestly and why they must dress the way that they do.  This approach is set to create a more intense and deeper connection to Islam culture and to start at a very young age, and create achieved values growing up.  Within this move, the police will have more strict enforcement in the matter, as it will create a “mandatory” outlook for children being raised in Iran. 

This article illustrates an extreme case from the education board, as well as the law enforcement.  With growing up in a country with the freedom’s the United States has, it is difficult to see the positive approach that Iran is doing.  Everyone is entitled to his or her own freedom, and forcing strict laws only on women and children is a double standard, especially if the men do not have many restrictions.  In my point of view, this law is asking to be fought against, though it does seem like would be the best interest for the women to follow what is being asked of them.
