Universities in Iran have now been banned from the teaching of certain disciplines. The disciplines taught must be compatible with the Islamic faith. Those that are considered too Western will be modified or cut completely from school curricula. These include disciplines in the social science field such as law, women studies, human rights, management, sociology, psychology, and political science. The intent of the ban is to prevent younger generations from being influenced by such Western culture and ultimately changing the Islamic state. Nearly 2 million of Iran's 3.5 million students in universities are now studying these disciplines.
