Now maybe we can get a discussion going about the topic and not the reply of a poster like me to it.

"your purpose in posting some things seems to be something other than really caring about the issue you post about. "

And your replying to me here and not the original OP/story could say things about you as well. And that it is not posted and discussed in a group that is constantly running around telling people they don't care about women is rather telling as well.

But thanks for the kick. Perhaps some folks will see the website in the op and spread it around (I am sure you actually read the op and know which link I am talking about:

Today, on top of a a petition now circulating on www.educationenvoy.org calling for a cessation of violence against teachers who are defending the right of girls to go to school, a scholarship fund in honor of the slain Shahnaz Nazli is being announced. Education International, the world teachers organization with 30 million members, has said that the scholarship memorial to Shahnaz will support Pakistan teachers and students victimized simply because of their support for girls' schooling.
