Newsweek reports that ISIS has announced a new curriculum banning the study of math for students in areas of Iraq and Syria it controls. Also banned will be the teaching of music, social studies (especially anything about elections or democracy), and sports. Books cannot include any reference to evolution and teachers must say that the laws of physics and chemistry "are due to Allah's rules and laws." Teachers who break the rules "will be punished," according to fliers posted in ISIS-controlled territory. Students will instead learn all about "belonging to Islam," and how to "denounce infidelity and infidels."
