Do you think all girls, wherever they are, deserve an education in a high school of sorts, if not why not?

I think girls should be on equal terms as boys and entitled to the same advantages.

Yes. Education should not be withheld from anyone

@comfi1 What if it means higher taxes for you?
@SisterChaos "Taxes are the price you pay to live in a free society."

@SisterChaos It’s not a concern for me as in my country girls and boys get an education

Everybody deserves highschool education

They do get that in any first world nations.
I am one that believes that all men (and women) are created equal.

So yes, I believe that all women (and men) should be afforded the opportunity of a quality education....
@SisterChaos I don't live in darkest Africa, so that doesn't apply to me.

However, I do contribute financially to distant family in SE Asia to allow them to attend better schools/colleges. I do this knowing that education is the key that turns on the economic engine... and they all are aware of my belief that once they graduate and establish themselves, they need to also "pay it forward".

As far as taxes where I live.... the school board asks for overrides if more $$ is needed and I'm fine with that for the most part as taxes here are pretty low, relatively speaking.

@Threepio What if it was a scheme run by a company set up by Obama for African children?
@SisterChaos
a scheme run by a company

Those are not taxes........... and therefore, I do not have to pay them.

Yes, but I don’t think the rich countries of the world, should be be sticking their noses into other countries way of life, ie Afghanistan,
Yes but it's not practical to impose that on Afganistan.

Yes without a doubt
A better question would be does society deserve that girls get a high school education. I don't see it so much as deserving but it's just a good idea
