"He told a group of students that they should organise campaigns to demand that the liberal teachers be sacked."

So says President Ahmadinejad.

"Mr Ahmadinejad said it was difficult to alter secular influences that had been in place in Iran for 150 years, but added that such a change had begun.

The move echoes campaigns of the 1980s, when hundreds of liberal university teachers and students were sacked.

"'A student must yell against liberal thoughts and the liberal economy,' the AFP news agency reported Mr Ahmadinejad as saying.

"'A student must ask why a secular teacher gives low marks to a student that does not have the same ideas as him.'"


Alex the Inactivist makes what, to me, is an obvious connection.

"Mahmoud, you might want to talk to David Horowitz. And William Dembski, another outspoken opponent of secular scholariship, has this great new idea called 'teaching the controversy...'

"This might not play too well among the chai-sipping elitists of Tehran, but it will probably go over well in the Red Provinces."
