I've Been Thinking:

Iran is going in the offensive.

According to Sunday's Iranian press, Iran is going on the offensive to counteract Western influence on their youth.

The Iranians are dispatching 1000 religious leaders to schools in order to fight the "brainwashing" of their students. The Iranians want to challenge Western influences on their children and prevent the next generation from being indoctrinated by the ideas of democracy and freedom.

Each of the 1000 leaders are themselves religious role models.

Ultimately, the Iranian objective will fail. It is impossible to effectively combat modern influences with doctrine and seclusion. The only way to confront modern freedom is by teaching respect.
