In a classroom that's so cold you can see your own breath, five teenage girls, their hair covered by brightly patterned scarves, and two boys read English phrases from textbooks. Repeating after their teacher, they say, "It has plants from all over the world."
The lesson, about an indoor rain forest in the United Kingdom, is a world away from the devastation surrounding them. They are students in Raqqa, Syria, a city that ISIS once claimed as its capital.
Beside their school building lie the remains of an Armenian church, and beyond that, a wasteland of apartment blocks crumpled by airstrikes. The city's public park, once lush and green, has become a mass grave.
Learning is exactly what these students want — so much so that the school is of their own making.

Would kids in the US do something like this? Would we let them?
I have always felt that students should build their own school, grow their own food, dig their own wells, and otherwise learn how to be self sufficient. But that's not the model in the West. Our schools steal our money, and use it to turn our children into either sheeple or shock troops for the NWO.
