Baha’is in Egypt and Iran are being denied their right to education.
Why? Simply because of their faith
"Don’t all children deserve an education no matter who they are?
"............ Children are one of the most vulnerable groups in society and, at the same time, the most important. They have no voice in the government; they have no power of their own. Therefore, every society has the responsibility to safeguard the well-being of all children and the obligation to promote the full development of their physical, mental and moral capacities. To neglect this responsibility is to court the destruction of the foundations of society itself, for the destiny of all future generations depends on the attention given to children now.
Among the rights set forth in the Convention, one of the most important is often overlooked: the right to moral education based on the principle of the oneness of humanity."
