نشط (القبرجية) في مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي بدفن كبار الفنانين في عالمنا العربي بنشر شائعات عن موت: دريد لحام أو منى واصف أو عادل إمام من غير حياء أو احترام لمشاعر أهالي أولئك الفنانين أو مشاعر محبيهم، فبمجرد أن يكتب أحدهم أن فلاناً مات حتى تجد كل الشبكات تتناقل الخبر، وكأن موت فلان مأدبة تتهافت إليها الحداءات والغربان، فأي أنواع نهش تمارسها تلك المواقع..؟!
ويبدو أن الجيل الشاب (هذه الأيام) يمارس دور انقلاب القيم كما حدث في مسرحية مدرسة المشاغبين، تلك المسرحية التي تم اعتبارها البصمة الفاقعة في انحراف القيم لدى الشباب التالي لعرض المسرحية وانتشارها.. وكما اُتهمت مسرحية مدرسة المشاغبين بأنها أحدثت انفلاتاً أخلاقيّاً، يحدث الآن ذلك الانفلات من قبل الشباب بصورة أبشع، فكل واحد منهم تحول إلى وزارة إعلام مستقلة يعطي نفسه الحق في نشر أمور منكرة سواء لفظاً أو تحريضاً أو تصدير الإساءات، والشائعات، ويحرص الباث على إتقان شائعته بصور مفبركة، وفي شائعة الموت يتم إظهار جنازة فلان وعلان.. وخلال ساعة يكون باث الشائعة قد شيع فلاناً إلى قبره غير مكترث بما تحدثه شائعته من ضرر لدى الآخرين.. ويبدو أن أصحاب الأخبار الفاجعة من (القبرجيين) نشطوا في ردم من أطال الله في عمره، ولأن أبطال مدرسة المشاغبين ماتوا جميعاً باستثناء عادل أمام ( اللهم مد في عمره فقد أسعدنا طويلاً) فأصبح مادة جيدة للقبرجيين..
وبأثر رجعي أتحدث عن مسرحية مدرسة المشاغبين التي أحدثت انقلاباً عنيفاً في التربية، وساهمت أو نقلت الجوانب التربوية إلى حالة من حالات الانفلات، وبالرغم أنها عرضت في السبعينيات الميلادية (أول عرض 1973) إلا أن أثرها امتد كأخدود زلزالي شاطراً العلاقة بين الآباء وأبنائهم، وبين الطلاب وأساتذتهم.
وأثناء عرض المسرحية التي استمرت لسنوات طويلة، ارتفعت الدعاوى القضائية لإيقافها مرات عدة إلا أن الإقبال الشديد عليها أبقاها مهوى الأفئدة، واعتبر البعض أن هذه المسرحية قضت على هيبة المعلم، حتى أن بعض علماء النفس بجامعة القاهرة أجروا دراسة عن الآثار السلبية للمسرحية، خلصت إلى أن نحو 70% من المشاغبين في المرحلة الثانوية كانوا يقلدون شخصيات المسرحية في محاولة لنيل إعجاب واحترام زملائهم، كما أن وزير التعليم آنذاك، وَصَفَ المسرحية بأنّها أحد أسباب انهيار التعليم في مصر، وتدنّي مستواه؛ لأنها أفقدت المعلم هيبته.
وفِي زمن الإيمان بفكرة المؤامرة، اتهم مؤلف المسرحية (علي سالم) بأنه خنجر في خاصرة الضمير العربي، ساعياً على تهشيم التربية (المصرية تحديداً)، وجذب الشباب العربي على كسر عمود السلطة في التعليم، ومن تلك المسرحية العمل الحثيث على القضاء في تركيبة شباب المستقبل، ولأن الأستاذ علي سالم (رحمه الله) كان من المتهمين بالتطبيع الثقافي مع إسرائيل استقرت التهمة أو رسخت في بال المثقفين في المقام الأول، رسخ أن المؤلف قصد من تأليف المسرحية ضرب بنية التربية لدى الشباب.
وبعيداً عمّا حدث من جدال حول المسرحية استجلب من ذكرياتي اجتماعاً حدث بيني وبين الممثل يونس شلبي (أحد أهم شخصيات المسرحية رحمه الله) ففي سنواته الأخيرة تكررت زياراته للعلاج في مدينة جدة، وفي ذات يوم اجتمعنا في مركز ترفيهي على أنغام وأصوات عدة مطربين أحيوا تلك الليلة.
كنت مركزاً على تعبير يونس شلبي إزاء ما يقوم به الشباب داخل صالة المركز من تصرفات خارجة عن اللياقة الأدبية، كانت تعبيرات وجهه غائمة لا تبين أي أثر (لا استحساناً، ولا رفضاً، ولا انشراحاً) تعبيرات جامدة من كل أثر سوى آثار الموت القادم.
كنت راغباً في سؤاله سؤالاً مختصراً عن تصرفات الشباب غير اللائقة، وفِيما كنت أحاول صياغة سؤال لائق أيضاً، وقفت في حلقي جملة:
- هل أنت راضٍ عما أحدثته مدرسة المشاغبين من تفلت أخلاقي لدى الشباب؟
وأمسكت لساني، لسببين: أولهما الضجيج الذى ملأ الصالة، وثانيهما غياب لب يونس شلبي بفعل المرض المنهك.
فتريثت على أمل محاورته عندما نغادر الحفل، وعندما وصلنا إلى بيت الصديق علي فقندش (حيث أقام يونس)، ظللت أتحين الوقت الجيد لأن أسأله، وعندما فعلت ذلك، كان يونس شلبي -كما كان في المسرحية- (ما يجمع)، وإن كان في الأولى يمثل إلا أنه أمامي (لا يجمع) بسبب المرض الشديد الذي أصابه.
ربما لا توجد علاقة بين المقدمة وهذه القصة إلا أن شائعة موت عادل إمام بين لحظة وأخرى تؤكد أن الزمن لم يعد هو ذلك الزمن، وأن الجيل الشاب الآن يريد الإسراع بدفن من كان حاضراً قبلهم، فلماذا؟
يمكن تبرير هذا بكثير من المعطيات إلا أن مساحة المقالة لا تسمح بأكثر مما كُتب.

The "grave diggers" have become active on social media by burying prominent artists in our Arab world, spreading rumors about the deaths of: Dureid Lahham, Mona Wasef, or Adel Imam without any shame or respect for the feelings of those artists' families or their fans. As soon as someone writes that so-and-so has died, all networks rush to share the news, as if the death of so-and-so is a feast that attracts the vultures and crows. What kind of gnawing is being practiced by these sites?!
It seems that the young generation (these days) is playing the role of a values revolution, similar to what happened in the play "School of Troublemakers," which was considered a glaring mark of the moral deviation among youth following its performance and spread. Just as the play "School of Troublemakers" was accused of causing moral decay, this decay is now happening among the youth in a more horrific manner. Each of them has turned into an independent Ministry of Information, giving themselves the right to publish abhorrent matters, whether in words, incitement, or the exportation of insults and rumors. The broadcaster is keen to perfect their rumor with fabricated images, and in the death rumor, they show the funeral of so-and-so. Within an hour, the rumor broadcaster has buried so-and-so without caring about the harm their rumor causes to others. It seems that the purveyors of tragic news (the grave diggers) have become active in burying those whose lives have been prolonged, and since the stars of "School of Troublemakers" have all died except for Adel Imam (may God prolong his life, for he has delighted us for a long time), he has become good material for the grave diggers...
Retrospectively, I speak of the play "School of Troublemakers," which caused a violent upheaval in education and contributed to a state of moral decay. Although it was first performed in the 1970s (first shown in 1973), its impact has extended like a seismic rift, splitting the relationship between parents and their children, and between students and their teachers.
During the long run of the play, lawsuits were filed several times to stop it, but the strong demand for it kept it a favorite among audiences. Some even considered that this play destroyed the teacher's authority, to the extent that some psychologists at Cairo University conducted a study on the negative effects of the play, concluding that about 70% of troublemakers in high school were imitating the characters of the play in an attempt to gain the admiration and respect of their peers. The Minister of Education at the time described the play as one of the reasons for the collapse of education in Egypt and its declining standards, as it stripped the teacher of their authority.
In an era of belief in conspiracy theories, the playwright (Ali Salem) was accused of being a dagger in the side of the Arab conscience, seeking to undermine education (specifically Egyptian education) and drawing Arab youth to break the pillars of authority in education. From that play, there was a diligent effort to undermine the structure of the youth of the future. Since Professor Ali Salem (may God have mercy on him) was one of those accused of cultural normalization with Israel, the accusation settled or became entrenched in the minds of intellectuals primarily, establishing that the author intended to strike at the educational structure among youth.
Aside from the debates surrounding the play, a memory comes to mind of a meeting between me and the actor Younes Shalabi (one of the most important characters in the play, may he rest in peace). In his later years, he frequently visited Jeddah for treatment, and one day we met in a recreational center amidst the sounds of several singers who enlivened that night.
I was focused on Younes Shalabi's expression regarding the inappropriate behaviors of the youth inside the center's hall. His facial expressions were cloudy, showing no signs (neither approval, nor rejection, nor joy), just a rigid expression devoid of any trace except for the marks of impending death.
I wanted to ask him a concise question about the inappropriate behaviors of the youth, and while I was trying to formulate a suitable question, a sentence stuck in my throat:
- Are you satisfied with what "School of Troublemakers" has caused in terms of moral decay among the youth?
I held my tongue for two reasons: the first was the noise that filled the hall, and the second was Younes Shalabi's absent-mindedness due to the debilitating illness.
I hesitated, hoping to discuss it with him when we left the party. When we arrived at the home of our friend Ali Faqandesh (where Younes was staying), I kept waiting for the right moment to ask him. When I finally did, Younes Shalabi - as he was in the play - was (the unifying factor), and although he was acting in the first, in front of me he was (not unifying) due to the severe illness that had afflicted him.
Perhaps there is no connection between the introduction and this story, but the rumor of Adel Imam's death at any moment confirms that time is no longer what it used to be, and that the young generation now wants to hasten the burial of those who were present before them. Why?
This can be justified by many factors, but the space of the article does not allow for more than what has been written.
