Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid

Today in class we read a article about these Afghanistan girls that had were on their way to school when a guy on a motorcycle pulled up and asked the girls a question "were they going to school" than he sprayed acid in the face of the two girls. They thought it was the work of the Taliban and that they were trying to scare the girls into not going to school. But that method didn't work and the girls continued to go to school, so the Taliban had to make their presence noticeable so they decided to get on their motorcycles and circle the school so with spray bottles, water guns and a jar. They shot and sprayed 11 girls, 4 teacher with the acid, 6 went to the hospital. This time the girls stop returning to the school and stayed in their homes fearing the worst. Then the Head Master at the school decided enough was enough saying that "If you don't send your daughters to school, then the enemy wins." Sooner than he could blink the girls were back in school i think that this was a good move even though the acid could continue this shows you that those girls care about there life and what happens with it. I really encourage the parents and the students to continue on with school
