wonderful to see children in Turkey are spending less time learning about that trashbag Kemal Ataturk.
So you'd be fine with teaching Jihad to children just because "muh majority"? And oppressing scientific facts like evolution is ok too? Come on, Erdogan is absolutely atrocious, don't try to defend him just because you have something against Ataturk.
Frankly, parents ought to have the right to determine what their children learn unless there is a major overriding reason for the state to interfere. Otherwise we get this creepy Orwellian vibe of the state 'owning' children. Frankly, evolution isn't anywhere near important enough to intervene. If the bulk of parents don't want their children learning it the state should respect their wishes.
Evolution is the canary in the coal mine in America as well as in the Islamic world. If political leaders can reshape the educational syllabus to promote religious or ideological doctrines, then they can do anything. They can distort history. They can promote immoral doctrines as consummate morality.
