"The Struggle to Erase Saudi Extremism"

For John, BLUF:  Education.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

---

That is the title of an OpEd in Thursday's edition of The International New York Times, by Dr Janet Breslin-Smith♠ and Caryle Murphy♥.

The OpEd talks about how Saudi Arabia has been trying to revise its education process to reduce extremism and how they are trying to do more.  Victory over ISIL and radical Islam will depend upon education.  A good read.
