It is well known that liberals admire despots and tyrants (and often terrorists.) Most elite universities are hotbeds of liberalism (in particular in the professors.) So perhaps Iranian President Ahmadinejad could apply for outgoing Harvard University President Lawrence Summers’ position. There could be one snag. Well, Ahmadinejad might want to reform the campus. Here is his position:
Iran’s hard-line president urged students Tuesday to push for a purge of liberal and secular university teachers, another sign of his determination to strengthen Islamic fundamentalism in the country.
Speaking to a group of students Tuesday, Ahmadinejad called on them to pressure his administration to keep driving out moderate instructors, a process that began earlier this year.
Dozens of liberal university professors and teachers were sent into retirement this year after Ahmadinejad’s administration named the first cleric to head Tehran University, sparking strong protests from students.
Just a thought.
