The Cultural Revolution (1980–1987) (in Persian: انقلاب فرهنگی) was a period following the Iranian Revolution, when the academia of Iran was purged of Western and non-Islamic influences (even traditionalist unpolitical Islamic doctrines) to bring it in line with the revolutionary and Political Islam. The official name used by the Islamic Republic is "Cultural Revolution". Directed by the Cultural Revolutionary Headquarters and later by the Supreme Cultural Revolution Council, the revolution initially closed universities for three years (1980–1983) and after reopening banned many books and purged thousands of students and lecturers from the schools.〔(Supreme Cultural Revolution Council ) ''GlobalSecurity.org''〕 The cultural revolution sometimes involved violence in taking over the university campuses. Higher education in Iran had many leftist forces who were opposed to Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic state in Iran. The resistance of Khomeiniist control at many universities was largely unsuccessful. How many students or faculty were killed is not known.〔 The government's process of censoring foreign influences has not been without conflict. In addition to interrupting the freedom, education and professional livelihood of many, and striking "a major blow to Iran's cultural and intellectual life and achievement",〔Keddie, ''Modern Iran'', (2006), p.250〕 it contributed to the emigration of many teachers and technocrats. The loss of job skills and capital has weakened Iran's economy. ==Officials and founders== Numerous political figures, clerics and academics were involved in the cultural revolution between 1980 and 1987. The following figures are known as main advocates of the movement. They expelled some 700 University professors from Iran's academic institutions in a short time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hammihan Newspaper )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=:: FARHANGSHAHR :: )〕 In 1983, Ali Khamenei was the main figure behind the expansion of the council and its scope of activities. His suggestion was approved by the Iranian leader. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iranian Cultural Revolution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
