Afghan girls in school, suspicious

You serious Clark?

One of the big no-no's for terrorists is educating women. It makes them harder to control. The fact that these girls are in school makes them less suspicious, not more so.

I understand that this is an unfortunate side effect of the necessary travel ban, but we needn't attack the girls for it. They are likely to be the type of afghans we want to be befriending, not alienating
