"EDUCATION" STATEMENT FROM AKAR

Former Minister of National Defense and AK Party Deputy Hulusi Akar made extraordinary statements at an event he attended. Speaking about education, Akar argued that the purpose of education is not knowledge, but fear of God and shame of people.

"THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IS FEAR OF GOD AND SHAME OF PEOPLE"

Akar said the following: "What is the purpose of education? Education is not knowledge, my friends. Knowledge is obtained in university, in profession. The purpose of education is fear of God and shame of people. If we teach our children aged 4-12 to fear God, to be ashamed of people, to love their country and nation, to do good for others, and if we instill our other national and spiritual values in them, then wherever this child goes, wherever in the world, do not be afraid of this child."

"ARE YOU GOING TO DEAL WITH LGBT?"

If this is not given, as we have some problems in education as it is well known, we see the situation we see. Are you going to deal with atheists or deists? Are you going to deal with LGBT? Are you going to deal with drugs? You will be surprised, you will be surprised. And then we start asking where is the prosecutor? Where is the police? My friends, it is not possible with prosecutors and police. The beginning and the remedy is education. We gave it, we gave it, but we couldn't give it to our own children, they become alienated from us, our grandchildren become alienated from us."
