Tehran, 7 May (AKI) - Nureddin Zarrinkelk, a celebrated Iranian animated cartoonist, has been expelled from the fine arts department of the university of Tehran where he taught, reports said Monday. He is accused of having made fun of a female student who was wearing the full Islamic chador covering calling her a "primitive" according to pro-government news agency Rajanews. Zarrinkelk, 70, an icon of Iranian animated cinema, will not be allowed to teach anymore as part of new punitive measures in a moralization campaign which kicked off late last month and provides for the arrest of women who do not abide by strict Islamic dress codes.
Zarrinkelk had already been banned from teaching right after the 1979 Islamic revolution.

You seen one Chador you have seen them all.
The lower case usage speaks volumes.
That would like the School of NASCAR at Oxford University.
He's no Tex Avery, but whatever.
Good point.
If he’s guilty as charged, I actually agree. (Imagine a teacher here making fun of a student’s yarmulke or crucifix.) Trouble is, you can bet your sweet bippy that this crackdown is only against secularists. A teacher who made fun of some non-Islamic student or form of dress would be cheered by Tehran’s current insane regime.

I see they are putting more style in the larger sizes now.
Even nuns don’t dress like that anymore.

Go figure.
She would look better if she stepped out of a carny ride and had a blast of air blow her dress up! Like Marilyn Monroe!
