CAIRO — An English literature professor who plans to run for president of Egypt is being disciplined for teaching John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" and posting on Facebook videos of herself dancing.
Suez University instructor Mona Prince faces a hearing Sept. 12, a continuation of one held Aug. 28. Prince has been disciplined in the past and has been suspended since Aug. 6, when she was also referred to the public prosecutor for possible criminal charges. Accusations against her include contempt of religion, talking to students about religious beliefs and posting videos on social media that offended professors in the Faculty of Arts and the university. Her teaching of “Paradise Lost,” according to the school, amounted to "calling for the glorifying of Satan."
