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.

It is a damned shame.
It would be easy to hand pick a million or so Turkish refugees that I would love to have working and living here in the US.
Better still if Turkey didn’t have to go down that bloody totalitarian highway to hell.
Has the electricity and water been turned back on at our compound at that airbase. What about the rest of the base?
One thing that is particularly evil is it is clear what is going on in Turkey and certainly lead to even worse. And yet - where is the condemnation of the rest of the world? Where is the UN (of course they’ll say nothing, pack of vermin). Where is the US? NATO? EU? Dead silence, in the face of torture, utter lawlessness, tens and in the end, probably many hundreds of thousands utterly deprived of not only civil liberties but their freedom and soon their lives.
Curse every government and organization that tacitly or verbally apporves of Erdog’s and his jihadists’ butcheries.
And the coup is likely to have been started by dubious methods to flush out non-loyal military and everyone else. He had his lists already drawn up.

Education in Iran
EXCERPTS:
The 1979 revolution continued the countrys emphasis on education with the new government putting its own stamp on the process. The most important change was the Islamization of the education system. All students were segregated by sex. In 1980, the Cultural Revolution Committee was formed to oversee the institution of Islamic values in education. An arm of the committee, the Center for Textbooks (composed mainly of clerics), produced 3,000 new college-level textbooks reflecting Islamic views by 1983.[7] Teaching materials based on Islam were introduced into the primary grades within six months of the revolution.
(...)
The countrys 16 universities were closed after the 1979 revolution and were then reopened gradually between 1982 and 1983 under Islamic supervision.
While the universities were closed, the Cultural Revolution Committee investigated professors and teachers and dismissed those who were believers in Marxism, liberalism, and other imperialistic ideologies. The universities reopened with Islamic curricula.

Erdogan is Stalin, Gulen is Trotsky.
Put them in a room together with weapons, lock the door, and don’t open it until no one is breathing.

EXCERPT:
Reuters) - Turkey’s education ministry has revoked the licenses of 21,000 teachers working in private institutions, an official at the ministry told Reuters on Tuesday, part of an expanding government crackdown following a failed coup attempt.

“The licenses of 21,000 teachers working in privately-run institutions have been canceled. Tip-offs that these (people) are mostly linked with terrorist activities have been taken into consideration,” the ministry official said, without elaborating.

While the “Coup” attempt was still going on, I was reluctant to join your call that it was all set-up by Erdogan.
Looking at the events since the coup failed, I’m in full agreement.
He has banned “Academics” from leaving the country and called for all those outside the country to return.
Better get those nukes out of Incirlik, toot sweet.
Don’t worry, Bammy says Erdogan is a good guy.
I think those nukes are gone...unless they are technically unable to be used by the Turks or the highest bidder.
Surely they have to be code-activated or some such.
The triggers are kept separate from the rest of the device, and those could be spirited out of the country if they haven’t already. But it’s still a problem.
Yeah, because besides the huge potential for dirty bomb material, the knowledge of how to make components for a nuke is frighteningly easy to get a hold of. They’re still big bullets waiting to go ‘bang’ and unless some brave soul has sabotaged the hell out of them or smuggled the actual nuclear material out of the warheads, it wouldn’t take nearly as much as we’d like to make them operational again.
Hell, years back there was a high school student who built a working model sans the uranium. And later the “Nuclear Boy Scout”.
Yes. They shot and killed over 200 civilian protesters and wounded around 2000. They ran over several people with tanks or armored vehicles. They bombed the the National Police SWAT HQ, The National Intelligence Agency, the Presidential Palace and the Parliament among other places. I am astonished that the coverage of the coup attempt in international press mentions very little to nothing about these attrocities.
