Afghan girls, scarred by acid.

in the article Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School, Author Dexter Filkins talks about girls in afghan that are be scarred with acid on their face just because they want an education, and would like to attend school like a normal child. Shamsia Husseini was on her way to school one morning when she first experienced scars from acid on her face. Because of this, as the days go on her vision gets blurry. this attack also harmed 14 others ( students and teachers ) by the men that were on motorcycles. Her parents wanted her to continue going to school. in November three men on motorcycles stayed around the school, they hit 11 girls and 4 teachers with spray bottles, squirt gun, and a jar. This was done by the Taliban, the fundamentalist movement. They are the ones that are battling the government and the American-led coalition. Banned from school was the most notorious symbols of their rules. people began to put of posters saying " don't let your child go to school ". Shortly students began to stop coming. the headmaster Mahmood Qadari took matters into his own hands. He called a meeting for all parents to some to the school, he wanted the parents to allow their children to come back to school. students started to show up, as it progressed things got better for Shamsia Husseini and students that attended the school. I think that this is something bad that was happening in Afghan, every child should be able to go to school without getting attacked. Shamsia Husseini is a brave girl, i say this because she wants to go to school and get an education. Her situation is something you couldn't overcome very easily. There should have been more protection, the men o the motorcycles should have been sent to jail.
