What next?

While catching up on Kuwait's news and the government's latest drama today during work, I came upon a sentence embedded in an Arab Times article about the Minister of Education and Minister of Higher Education Nouriya Al-Subeeh's grilling.

The sentence stated the following "Meanwhile, parliamentary sources told the Arab Times the segregation law forms part of the grilling because Al-Sebih had promised the National Assembly’s Education Committee to implement the law in private universities".

Segregation in all levels of education up to high school I accepted growing up. A few years ago they started segregating Kuwait University's classes and now they're going after the private universities? What's next, private schools, the private business sector, our homes?

I accept the fact that male and female hormones are raging and we should protect our children etc. etc., but the way to protect our children is through education at home and school NOT segregation. If the government thinks they are doing the right thing well think again. The problem lies in when the students are done with class and not during. When walking to their respective classes they meet up, chat, talk, walk side by side GOD SAVE US they might even laugh and smile.

Is our society rewinding back to days when women weren't even allowed out of their home? Is that what's next on their agenda? How about private tutoring for all females? That way, the men in Kuwait won't have to see us at all and thanks to the latest technologies we can even work from home!

I say go ahead, make me even less proud to call myself a Kuwaiti.
