The murder of these kids at the hands of Taliban gunmen is an unconscionable act of cowardice. “Today, we stand with the victims, their families, and the people of Pakistan. “Education is a powerful tool against extremism and the United States should do its part to ensure that boys and girls in this region have a chance to get an education, improve their lives, and build a brighter, more peaceful future.” -end- Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
