Islamist running 140 tax-funded charter schools in U.S.
WND ^ | 17 Jan 2016 | Leo Hohmann

Muhammad Fethullah Gulen is a Turkish Islamist, writer and preacher with a secret plan for bringing Shariah law to America.

Arguably Turkey's most influential spiritual leader of the past 50 years, Gulen left that country in the late 1990s and now directs his cult-like Islamic movement from a guarded compound in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Part of his empire consists of a thriving network of more than 140 charter schools in 26 states that sell themselves to parents as a secular and more academically rigorous alternative to public schools.

As the second largest chain of charter schools in the United States, Gulen schools rake in tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars every year.

But the schools, which have nondescript names like Horizon Science Academies in Illinois, Harmony School of Excellence in Washington, D.C., and Magnolia Science Academies in California, have long been the subject of investigations into alleged corruption scandals involving conflicts of interest, influence peddling and visa abuse.

USA Today reported recently that the Gulen faith movement secretly funded 200 overseas trips for congressional lawmakers and staff since 2008.

Taxpayers paying to train the people who seek to destroy America.

The problem is not having charter schools. It is having Muslims imported into this country. It's an **immigration** problem.

And...If Christians and Jews are smart they will start charter schools, too!

The guy is a fraud. He has a 5th grade education and is no scholar. The State Department originally rejected his visa because of it, but the CIA stepped in.

Democrat Loretta Sanchez ( U.S. Representative for California's 46th congressional district) Video on Larry King

SANCHEZ SAID: "We know that there is a group, and we don't know how big that is-it can be anywhere between 5 - 20% , from the people that I speak to-that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible." "They are willing to go to extremes." "They are willing to use and they do use terrorism." Sanchez sits on the powerful Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Armed Services.

All government schools are doing this. With each generation the nation's voters become more and more socialist. Why?

Government schooling is a socialist-entitlement. It is also a price-fixed cartel-monopoly ( the cost to consumer is $0).

So.....Children who attend government’ K-12 socialist-entitlement schools are at risk of becoming comfortable with socialism. Gee! If the voting mob can give a child tuition-free schooling, then why not use that mob to get lots of “free” stuff?

It only took one to three generations of K-12 socialist-entitlement schooling to give the nation Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and then on to LBJ, Clinton, and now Obama.

Do that and there will be Muslim immigrants who will know how to work the socialist-entitlement school system to their advantage.

These socialist-entitlement K-12 schools couldn't exist without armies of teachers willing to cooperate with evil.

Freepers! Remember that the next time you talk to one of the government's socialist-entitlement school teachers.

imo, there are three pillars of leftism in America: federal schools, public sector unions, and the uniparty with those who enable it.

from the article:

***And when Congress passed the re-authorization of No Child Left Behind late last year, it included increased funding for taxpayer-funded charter schools run by unelected boards.

snip

***And for all of the taxpayer money flooding into the Gülen schools, most of the teaching positions go to foreigners who come to the U.S. on H-1B guest-worker visas from Turkey.

/s thank you again gopes for no child left behind and common core /s

We’re not selling it, we’re giving them the rope to hang us with.

I’m curious. How does Putin handle Islamist propaganda and influence.

I’m not asking because of a believe that everything Putin is good, but Russia has a much bigger endogenous Muslim population, and may be ahead of us in dealing with it.

here’s an article from 2007. They’ve been here a while.

Working at hospitals, in the government, doing the Obama routine, I guess. Nothing to see here. Move on.

So what happens when those who are tracking the compound graduates ARE the graduates?
