"Western" University Courses Cut

IRI restricts social sciences seen as 'Western'

AP: Iran has imposed new restrictions on 12 university social sciences deemed to be based on Western schools of thought and therefore incompatible with Islamic teachings, state radio reported Sunday. The list includes law, philosophy, management, psychology, political science and the two subjects that appear to cause the most concern among Iran's conservative leadership — women's studies and human rights. "The content of the current courses in the 12 subjects is not in harmony with religious fundamentals and they are based on Western schools of thought," senior education official Abolfazl Hassani told state radio. Hassani said the restrictions prevent universities from opening new departments in these subjects. The government will also revise the content of current programs by up to 70 percent over the next few years, he said >>>

The current inflation, economic chaos and powerty in Iran are so rampant in Iran and the government is not resolving them precisely because the ruling radicals want to be able to make such drastic cultural changes while the people are pre-occupied and unable to think about the consequences !  How sad! How sad!

IRI is cutting Western subjects and courses on campuses, but launching Wikifigh to spread her ideology on Internet....IRI is playing defence and offence at the same time:

This must be a proud moment for IRI supporters

by عموجان on Tue Oct 26, 2010 09:30 AM PDT


Really who needs education any more in Iran? Every thing is imported, nobody needs to work, Oil money pays for every thing, All there is to do eat, shit, multiply, pray and thanks selfish Allah for putting his Mullahs and their watchdogs (IRGC)to watch over us.

It took IRI supporters 30 years to get us here. Where is Mr. Mosavi now? Oh, yes his is back into his private life painting and selling his painting to collectors with highest bet.  

Now everybody together, it was Pahlavi's fault.

Close it

by MRX1 on Tue Oct 26, 2010 07:17 AM PDT

They should just close the universities alltogether. First of all, they will get rid of all these annoying students who constantly protest becuase they don't want to live in 9th century. Also Quran is the only book that mulims really need so the saving that comes from closing universities can go directly to Gaza and palestine. Seems like a good idea to me.

اگر اعدام و تيرباران ره دين است

اگر کشتار مردم در
قوانين است 

اگر دين مبين
تازيان اين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است

اگر سينه زني
فرمان اين دين است

قمه بر سر زدن نامش اگر دين است

عزاداري
اگر کيش است و آئين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است



اگر دين
سوره هاي جنگ خونين است

همه جا آيه هاي آتش کين است

اگر صلح
و صفا محکوم تمکين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است

اگر زن برده بي
مايه دین است

اگر دين چادر چرکين و ننگين است

اگر زن در حجاب
تار و غمگين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است



اگر دين
آرزوي مرگ نسرين است

اگر پايان عشق ويس و رامين است

اگر دين
دشمن فرهاد و شيرين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است



اگر زاهد به
منبر والي دين است

ولي پائين منبر حيله آئين است

اگر زاهد
ستمکار و سيه بين است

چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است

اگر بابک خرد را
مهر و آئين است

خردمندي اگر دشمن به هر دين است

اگر کافر
خردمند است و بي دين است

اگر آزاده بودن پاسخش اين
است



چه بابک
شاد و خرسند است که بي دين است

این رژیم از ملت توانا میهراسد.  اسلام یعنی‌ بهانه نادان کردن جوانان ایرانی‌ 

ولی‌ باز جای شکر که رشته دامداری باز نگری نمی‌شه. اقلاً در فهم کشور داری این حکومت میگنجد
