The Turkish army has banned screenings of the popular TV series “Game of
Thrones,” while introducing classes on Islam for the first time.
The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK)
reportedly updated its secondary education regulations and added a new
article to the chapter titled “the protection of students.” The new
article bans the screening of productions like “Game of Thrones” on the
grounds of protecting students from “sexual exploitation, pornography,
exhibitionism, abuse, harassment and all negative behaviors.”
Four
military officers were discharged from the army after they let their
students watch “Game of Thrones” at a military school in Istanbul in
2012.
The new regulations also lay ground for the introduction of
elective classes on Islam in military schools for the first time. The
new classes will be based on “basic religious education, the Quran and
the life of the Prophet Muhammad,” the report said.
