Descrição: Last March, when riots erupted in some cities because civilians supporting the Arab Spring and protesting corruption were killed, the ruling party in my city of Erbil had the university administration close the dorms and send students home to prevent protests. Textbooks are designed and centralized by committees from government institutions; books are chosen based on traditions and standards set by the previous dictatorship; history books change their "facts" when governments change; subjects may differ in some books depending on the power of a political party in a given province; and the English literature canon-a "great books" list established by Oxford and Cambridge universities back in the 1920s and established by the previous Iraqi regime-still rules today's curriculum.
