Of course no girls will be allowed in class and most of the subjects should prepare kids to the jihad. “They are basically brainwashing them,” said Zaid al-Fares, a photojournalist from Raqqa who flew to Turkey earlier this summer. He wrote an article on the International Business Times and he describes the situation as beyond than terrible.
