On Thursday, December 8, the 'Iranian Teachers' Syndicate Challenge' channel criticized the 'violence' and 'instrumental use of schoolgirls in a high school in Hamadan' by the city's education officials. The news channel wrote: 'Hamadan education officials, in a misogynistic act, tied up high school girls and attached price tags to them.' According to this channel, this action was part of an 'ideological program,' and education officials aimed to convey that if, according to their claims, 'the defenders of the shrine and the resistance front were not present, such girls in Iran would be taken captive and their bodies would be auctioned off.' The Iranian Teachers' Syndicate Challenge emphasized that 'the instrumental and violent use against children, which contradicts all international laws, has become a long-standing tradition in Iran's education system,' adding: 'For years, those in charge of this educational institution have not hesitated to promote the ideological beliefs of the ruling power.' Meanwhile, the Coordination Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Unions wrote on Thursday that 'the educational system is not only indifferent to the psychological and social needs of students but also insists on imposing unilateral ideologies and turning schools into tools for instilling specific beliefs, depriving students of their identity and life.' This national teachers' organization in Iran emphasized: 'Instead of fostering creative thinking and addressing the concerns of the youth generation, schools have become centers for suppressing differences and imposing predetermined patterns.'
