Effects of gender segregation in preschools

Separating sexes even before reaching 6 years of age

rferl.org: Boys and girls at Iranian preschools are to be separated in the latest instance of gender segregation in the Islamic republic, RFE/RL's Radio Farda reports. Iranian media reported on August 21 that the Education Ministry issued a directive extending gender segregation to preschools. "The mingling of boys and girls is forbidden at preschool classes, except in schools where the number of students does not reach the required minimum," according to the directive published by the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) >>>

Zeal

by Arj on

Thanks dear MH. Not that Haj rituals should be Iranian society's moral compass, but these guys are trying to be even more zealous than the Bedouin Arabs who invented Islam!

I'd be surprised if something logical came out of the IRI .

by Marathon-Man on

زنده یاد ایرج میرزا حدود صد سال پیش فریاد کشید که 

در ایران تا بود ملا و مفتی        به روز بد تر از این هم بیفتی

 

این حضرات هیچ کاری با عقل و منطق و شعور ندارند و گوسفند وار پیرو یک

آیین قرون وسطائی هستند. پیروی از کتابی که ۱۴۰۰ سال پیش نوشته شده

و به تأیید همگی‌ انها هیچ تغییری هم در اون داده نشده. 

 

تنها راه رهایی مردم از این طاعون فقط ریشه کردن اون هست و بس

Bismillah o rahmane rahim In

Bismillah o rahmane rahim

In the name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful it has been announced today, girls, that it is Haram for you to mix with other boys. You must not play with them or talk to them. They must not even touch you.
However, upon reaching the age of majority 9 you Allah has permitted you to enter into marriage and lose your virginity with men old enough to be your father.
Let it be said, that you are follwing the footsteps of Ayesha the Wife of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) who became one of the greatest women in Islam.
Inshallah, you too will have your marriage consumated before you even finish puberty. Inshallsh, this is the way of Allah.

Again the comparison with catholic school falters since we compare to a system where segregation and so discrimnation is forced from day one now. I guess you have had normal life outside the school where you have met the other sex.

I do not think even that the catholic schools are correct either and I guess if you ask the kids in those schools most of them would choose a normal school, but that is my opinion and not a fact.

.........

"It is a horrible thing of you even to accept that people would put their kids in segregated kindergarden and then schools, how do you think the person would grow up? What kind of life would he or she have? How can they learn how to interact with opposite sex? In Iran many young couples from conservative families will have the first contact (talk) with opposite sex after marriage, do you think it makes them happier or better persons? "

I do not see it a horrible thing to send your kid to a segregated school but we have to have the choice between two. I went to an all girls French Catholic School and I turned OK. What are you talking about?  you are just mixing things up ...... 

The problem with iRI is that it forces this segregation on every aspects of one's life and  we also have some cultural thingy going on top of that which makes the entire thing a mess..... Please read my blog on " Marriage Iranian Style "    Now, one can still go to segregated school and turns out OK. Most of high prestige schools in the west are actually the segregated ones. I am talking about schools that are for kids under 18 but that is just the setting. Most of the kids in west are still interacting with the opposite sex once the school bell rings while in IRI it is just impossible and highly forbidden act under any condition at any given time....    I think the issues of IRI are not just the grade school segregation ......... I hope you see my points .....

Soosan khanom in jail

by choghok on

It is a well known fact that within a jail there exist a lot of homosexual acts without the inmates being homosexuals, I am sure that you can find info about it online so I am going to be lazy about giving you any source :-). And the reason why it is like that, it is because there is no other option. Now if you draw parallell to a country where they do not leave you an option what would happen then? In Iran the term "bache bazi" refers to one of the things that could happen and quiet accepted in lowclass part of the community.

The  situation in democratic countries differ, there the population that do engage in homosexual do that despite the access to opposite sex, it is a choice they make, it is not because of force. And the thing you mention with the priest also happens with mullahs in their schools, it has been a widespread rumor that mullahs do enjoy the company of their young students, and the reason you do not hear any news about it well maybe because the country is ruled by mullahs and it is also taboo to talk about these things.

It is a horrible thing of you even to accept that people would put their kids in segregated kindergarden and then schools, how do you think the person would grow up? What kind of life would he or she have? How can they learn how to interact with opposite sex? In Iran many young couples from conservative families will have the first contact (talk) with opposite sex after marriage, do you think it makes them happier or better persons?

Haj?

One can not help but wonder why is the mingling of male and female Hajis allowed in Haj rituals then?!

You are suggesting that sexual segregation leads to same sex experiments. This is not really the case cause we are witnessing quite remarkable numbers of gays and bisexuals in the societies that have not been practicing sexual segregation...

Also what we are witnessing in Catholic Church is not caused by the sexual segregation as much as that it is caused by the clerical celibacy, something that can not be applied to muslim clergies . So your statement which indirectly mimics the events happening in the catholic churches is also False. Now , of course there are always sick individuals and child molesters at any society, under any religion, under any culture, at any given time and I have no doubt that this is also a case among the muslim clergies.

By the way, I am not supporting any action taken by the government in terms of interfering in people's choices and their lives. I think there should be both choices available and it is up to the parents to decide which school they should send their kids; but what do you expect from a regime that interferes in almost everything its citizens are doing? A government that decides for its citizens like that the citizens are bunch of brainless retarded people who are not able to make decisions for themselves. What do expect from a regime that is trying to even segregate the colleges? A regime that currently has a health minister that as soon as she started her position she suggested segregated hospitals? The problem is our own people who are putting up with these BS or worse than that buy into it. Something that can not even be changed if you bomb the entire nation.

Getting into extreme

by choghok on

Of course seeing that all the preaching and the brainwashing failing make the mullahs go extreme. After so many years people still live their lives as they have done always and are even more unislamic than during reign of Pahlavis, they take into extreme measures not knowing that it will backfire and make something natural into an ugly thing. They need to look at the story of marquees de sade maybe and learn.

The sexual segregation leads to same sex experiments and incest in many cases, even a basiji can understand this since many of them practice it daily within themselves or with their beloved friday preacher. But for them probably it is a good thing.
