Curricula Resemble ISIS
Writer Thawqan Obeidat believes that, following revisions begun in 2016, school textbooks have largely been cleared of statements that explicitly promote extremist thought. But he stresses that this does not mean the curricula have fought extremism. He cites a poem that threatens twelve-year-old children with death, and a phrase disparaging the Circassians, arguing that both reflect a weak understanding of pluralism and citizenship. His conclusion is that the problem is not confined to textbooks; it also involves teaching, activities, and the hidden curriculum. What is needed is an education that fosters critical thinking and protects students from extremism.
