Turkish state media say authorities are acting to close down 626 private schools and other educational establishments, in the latest step of a crackdown after last week's attempted coup.
The schools are linked to exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, who set up a network of schools across Turkey to promote his teachings.

Civil war time.
Heading into a mussie dictatorship.
Another glaringly obvious move proving it was all staged.
And, as always with totalitarians, the boot comes down.
Obama hoping in place will be opened multiple new madrassas.
The beginning of Ottoman Empire II with Erdogan as Sultan.
on my debka thread someone said our soldiers are having to ration their food.
this guy needs the Mossad to come in and take him out.
Did the “rebels” ever fire a shot?
Time for the NATO repo man to visit Turkey.
And we know from history how that ended.
It’s worth noting that these are all Islamic schools rather than private secular schools. From what I can tell, the moneyed class send their children to secular private schools on a Nordic model. This is somewhat analogous to cracking down on one particular church’s parochial schools in America.
Anyone know much about this cleric in exile in Pennsylvania?
Also...
Will these students be routed into officially secular state schools or to other private Islamic schools?
I wish there was one ongoing Turkey Thread. I keep posting stuff on different threads and there are so many. Mad Erdog wants to have killing fields.
He’s got a head start as sultan. His Presidential palace cost nearly a half billion dollars.
Turkey is moving closer and closer to Stalin’s Soviet Union.
Well if he closes the country down and goes the way that the Norks are it’ll be all over for his Caliphate or whatever he wants to call his Islamic paradise.

Reports: vast majority of military officers brought to court have injuries. Unclear how sustained. In pre-trial 'membership of terror org' Andrew Gardner @andrewegardner 17h Istanbul detentions:incommunicado, prosecutors ask little or nothing about coup
Certainly the academic crackdown is widespread and alarming. Turks write a lot of the papers and perform a lot of the studies that we use here on a day to day basis. Our office chat software has basically turned into ‘Learning Turkish Simulator 2016’ since the coup. But the secular schools attached to the moneyed class haven’t been touched from what I can understand. It’s only the academics attached to Islamic schools that are talking about being targeted. Some arrests have started. That wasn’t in this article.
I”ve been following this obsessively.
See the graphic I just posted. There is much torture going on. It will a blood bath of anyone Mad Erdog considers “enemies”. Rape and carnage will be beyond imagining. Edrog is a rabid beast and it’s a shame no one has killed him yet.
