ISIS is using schools to indoctrinate children to be the next generation of terrorists. 
 
Business Insider reports the terror group created its own curriculum to teach children how to wage jihad.

The children are called "cubs of the caliphate," and must study the core religious texts of Islam.

"The first tier refers to how the group treats additional subjects of religious study -- the Quran, hadith, creed, and law -- all defining features of Islamic faith and practice," said Jacob Olidort of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy . 

 "The second has to do with other subjects -- physical preparedness, history, geography, and mathematics -- all of which are incidental to Islamic identity but central to training the 'citizen' of their state project," Olidort concluded.

They also learn how to murder non-Muslims, other Muslims who do not support their ideology, and how to use various types of weapons.

Children are taught to trust Allah in battle, that their duty is to terrorize non-believers, and that killing entire families is for the betterment of society. 

When they learn geography, they are not given normal maps, but rather a map that illustrate the dominance of the Caliphate across the globe. 

The children of ISIS also learn from a young age that disobedience means death. 

According to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy,  one textbook declares that "anyone who disobeys the ruler is an unbeliever," and unbelievers will be killed. 

Olidort believes that although ISIS may be losing a physical war, it is still fighting to lock their dangerous ideology in the minds of children. 

"Indeed, as IS loses territory and seeks to reassure its followers, it is perhaps the preservation of their intellectual heritage that will be the group's next frontier," he said.
