23. Probably not supporting them with tax dollars, like in the US.

Criticism of inaction is not what you posted. But it is a fair criticism.

Still I wonder what you think about the fact that the US government has yet to do anything about schools that teach myth as fact, such as humans living with dinosaurs, or the coming of the rapture and the end of days. In some cases, the government is funding these 'charter' schools. And you can believe that feminist literature is not welcome at these institutions either.

I am not saying it is an equivalent situation, I just wonder what your opinion is on allowing private schools so much freedom and then supporting them with tax dollars. To my knowledge, at least the Pakistani government isn't funding private schools over there with their tax dollars.

Religion has no place in schools, but if even the US can't get rid of it, I am not sure why you would expect Pakistan to do it sooner.
