Abstract
Iran's fundamentalist government has long feared students and academics, because independent thinking and inquiry are at odds with the extreme rhetoric of a repressive religious regime that discourages questioning or testing-especially when those asking questions are women. But when the Iranian "morality police" beat 22-year-old Mahsa Amini to death in September for wearing "un-Islamic clothing," they unintentionally restored the long-silent voices of Iranian students, scholars, and scientists.
