If I had your e mail I would send you their movement chart with all of their foundation names.<br />Some of the names are: Cosmos, Concept, Accord, Raindrop, Interfaith Dialog and many many more. The trips to Turkey are called at some of the US Gulen Schools a trip to "europe" which Turkey is NOT in Europe. It is classified as Asia Minor. Istanbul was constaniople a christian city (and in europe) before the Ottoman Turkish invasions. you can check out their 990 IRS tax returns for free at www.guidestar.com. Teaching kids to speak, sing and dance in Turkish is Turkification. Many of their performances are on UTUBE. Gulen is a master of propaganda and OWNS the media to control information (Zaman, ERBU TV) and those high test scores the schools boast about? Ha Ha they are all awards from Gulen sponsored contests. Many ex-Teachers and parents of ex-students from Gulen schools are coming forward. <br />www.charterschoolwatchdog.com is an excellent site. <br />They have been in the news lately for Beehive Academy (UT) is CLOSING. AND Harmony Schools (TX) channel 7 in Tx reported on them yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359348507190689090.post-10037343829255655992010-06-02T17:09:02.719-07:002010-06-02T17:09:02.719-07:00See additional information under comments at

Santos was the dean of the College of Education at Texas Tech at the time (2003-2009). From the tone and content of the paper, she appears to be a Gülen follower. Note the reference to charter schools and how the educational philosophy meshes with that of the Turk-run schools.<br /><br />Excerpts (http://www.fethullahgulen.org/conference-papers/the-fethullah-gulen-movement-iii/3476-the-urgency-of-educational-reform-in-the-united-states-of-america-lessons-learned-from-fethullah-gulen.html)<br /><br />- So, it is very difficult to imagine that a nation such as the United States, with a decentralized education system in which each state operates its schools independently, will ever achieve consensus about what and how children are to learn. However, based upon the writings and teachings of the imminent Turkish Islamic scholar and philosopher, M. Fethullah Gülen, I feel compelled to make the case for a higher order of thinking to pervade all educational institutions in United States.<br /><br />- It is believed that there are about 700 Gülen inspired schools throughout the world.<br /><br />- Nevertheless, I believe that all public schools, including public charter schools serving a diversity of students, can benefit from the prototype and the philosophical underpinnings of Gülen inspired schools.<br /><br />- Another important feature of Gülen educational philosophy is that science and technology do not have to be divorced from one's spirituality or faith. Hence, there is a heavy emphasis on technology and science in these schools around the world. Gülen inspired schools participate in science fairs and competitions throughout the world, oftentimes with great success. A case in point is the Willow International School (aka Turkish College) in Mozambique. [the name "Willow" is also used or the EMO in California. Note the board members: http://we-team.org/about/about.html]<br /><br />- Gülen's ideas about the role of science and its connection to the Divine laws of the Creator are completely consonant with the totality of his views about education.<br /><br />- I am not certain how, or if, one's attitudes about science is limiting the choice of academic majors in the U.S., but it is observable that many professors of engineering and the hard sciences in American universities were international students prior to employment. Also, there is a severe shortage of science and math teachers in the United States as well, and tests reveal that students are not excelling in the public schools in these subject matter disciplines.The Perimeter Primatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619173438763495716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359348507190689090.post-57092897262251863932010-06-02T12:24:52.491-07:002010-06-02T12:24:52.491-07:00Interesting that one of those schools is in your O...Interesting that one of those schools is in your Oakland hometown, and their website lists their big school trip to Turkey:<br /><br />Bay Area Technology School (Bay Tech) 4521 Webster St. Oakland,CA 94609<br /><br />http://www.baytechschool.org/<br /><br />(Pretty funky test scores, I note.)<br /><br />The operators of this school attempted to start a charter here in San Francisco, but our Board of Ed turned them down.carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127336930949752636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359348507190689090.post-27170908167357084972010-06-01T19:08:48.980-07:002010-06-01T19:08:48.980-07:00"Muslim radical lives in the Poconos -- but i..."Muslim radical lives in the Poconos -- but it's not what you think," April 18, 2010, Pocono Record (Stroudsburg, PA)<br /><br />http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100418/NEWS/4180350/0/rss01<br /><br /><br />"Fethullah Gülen remains a radical figure for many Muslims," April 27,2010, Pocono Record (Stroudsburg, PA) <br /><br />http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100427/NEWS/4270328/-1/rss01The Perimeter Primatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619173438763495716noreply@blogger.com
