The real scandal at the University of Cairo is the lesbian scene in a text of the play list, but the cynical propaganda launched against him

academic freedom is under attack again in Egypt. An article in the state-owned Al-Akhbar newspaper under "homosexuality teaching at the University of Cairo", launched a furious attack on the provocative title of the university English department for inclusion in a story that contains a lesbian scene in their curriculum.

This is not the first time that the departments of literature have been under fire from self-appointed guardians of public morality.

few years ago all hell broke loose when a defender of public morality the world the conspiracy against the spirits of the Egyptian students in Moll Flanders, the 18th century novel is taught as part "the history of the novel" Of course. It has been argued that having a main character who is a prostitute and a thief was a clear endorsement of immorality, which implies that literature should focus on the saints and angels.

But moral indignation has passed the stage of Moll Flanders. Offensive work this time is a short story entitled snow Tanith Lee. It was on the playlist of fantasy literature course offers students last year in the first quarter of this academic year, 2010-2011.

history, according to journalist of Al-Akhbar, teaches nothing but the depravity and moral degradation. It encourages the perversion and therefore "a crime in every sense of the word." Moral Brandishing his sword, threatened to file a complaint of the moral corruption of the prosecution and prosecute anyone involved in this story that can corrupt the innocent minds.

The campaign against academic freedom seems to be an application of imagination to craft a manual on how to successfully manipulate public opinion.

First, use a surprising degree, which contains sensational elements of the bizarre, the erotic and the unthinkable. Excites the readers and the fire of his imagination with mental images of how homosexuality can be taught in class. This will ensure that the public will become huge intrigued and offended.

Second, be as liberal as possible (no irony intended here) with words such as "erotic," "corruption," "debauchery", "explicit", "perversion" and "lesbianism ".

The timing of this latest campaign also raises questions vexed. Whether the story was taught in the first quarter of this academic year, why the complaint deferred to the end of the second term? Would not it have made more sense to raise the issue at the beginning - if only to save the souls of poor students

elected Dean is not just an English teacher, but also a woman. If his appointment is ratified, will be the first woman dean of the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University. One wonders if a manufactured moral outrage is not used to discredit a department that has the most women on staff, including the department head and professor of the course.
The president of Cairo University has not yet ratified the election results and is not yet clear whether it will be. Many university professors are committed to take action if their call for democratic elections in the direction of the center is taken into account.
