It Only Takes a Girl [View all]

This deserves to be posted again. Especially considering how some people repeatedly whine about anyone raising the issue of education for girls... because they think there is parity in education in soooo many places around the world. Apparently some people think that others should shut up about girls' education already. Interesting.
