Cultural Revolution in Iran
text:
The Cultural Revolution was a period following the Iranian Revolution, when the academia of Iran was purged of Western and non-Islamic influences, to align them with the revolutionary and political Islam. The cultural revolution sometimes involved violence in taking over the university campuses, as higher education in Iran had many secularist and leftist forces who were opposed to Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic state in Iran. The official name used by the Islamic Republic is "Cultural Revolution".
