Iran's schools are teaching children to abide by Islamic supremacy and discriminate against non-Muslims and women, according to a study of Iranian textbooks by the think tank Freedom House.
Iran's post-revolutionary education system continues to teach children to discriminate against women and religious minorities, according to a report released Tuesday by Freedom House, a Washington-based nonprofit group that seeks to encourage democracy in the world.
A new Freedom House study of Iranian textbooks finds that the Islamic Republic is teaching its children to embrace Islamic supremacism, preparing them to enter a political system that discriminates against women and non-Muslims.
The education official asked textbook authors "not to photocopy western textbooks, because our textbooks must only have space for our values and not those of other cultures".
Islamische Religions-Lehrbücher sind in ihrem Bild vom Christentum weit mehr von Toleranz geprägt als manche Fachleute bislang vermutet haben. Zu dieser Erkenntnis kommt eine Studie des Erlanger Religionspädagogen Johannes Lähnemann.
Iranian students receive a steady curriculum of hatred for the West that prepares them to sacrifice their lives in a global war that must end either by a global Islamic victory or by a collective martyrdom. This is one of the key findings in a study of 115 Iranian textbooks and teacher's guides that was recently completed at the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace.
Textbooks used in Iran's schools are instilling students with hatred toward the West, especially the United States, and urging them to become "martyrs" in a global holy war against countries perceived to be enemies of Islam, a new study says.
Iranische Kinder werden im Unterricht gezielt zu Märtyrern ausgebildet. Eine Untersuchung von Schulbüchern zeigte: Die Agitation beginnt schon in den unteren Klassen, Israel und die USA werden klar als Feindbilder dargestellt.
