Expendable Saudi Women?

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 5,000 Saudi women wishing to expand their educational horizions abroad attended Canadian Education Network (CEN)of Vancouver's Education Fair only to have the "Saudi Church Police" shut down their booth for having modestly dressed female booth attendants. The Saudi Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Church Police)took exception as did many other private Saudi Male citizens over Canadian Education Network's modestly dressed women recruiters. Saudi's enjoy having their "Breeding Stock" educated, just not visible, unless covered from head to toe and accompanied by a male family member at all times. The Saudi government for decades have allowed it's students (mostly male) to come abroad to attend Western Educational Institutions. Unfortunately for the Saudi's it has been claimed Saudi women are more educated and pursue higher education than Saudi men. Commentary: Colleges and universities from Canada and other countries regularly hold Education Fairs in order to boost and or image-enhance their enrollment number in their quest of claiming multicultural diversity to the world. What better way than by recruiting foreign students with fat bankrolls? Are Foreign students charged exhorbantly higher tuition fees than their Host Countries own citizens? Who is to say? For the life of me I cannot find any current Canadian Education Fairs being held in Third World Countries. Perhaps Multiculturalism does have a price, Foreign Dollars.
