| Soner Tarim (3rd -left) at recent NEW Harmony Science Academy's New SHOW LEGISLATIVE LUNCHES, ah what we do for money and approval. |
People love the free lunches and dinners that the Gulen Movement puts on worldwide, hand out a few awards and honors - send people on FREE trips to Turkey and they believe they have loyal Americans and others backing their school expansionism.
This time it didn't work, in Louisana the Gulen Movement was denied the expansion of Kenliworth Science and Pelican Excellence under Pelican Education which will contract with Cosmos Foundation which is over the Texas Harmony Science Academy. Sorry guys (Gulen Movement is male dominated and centered) it isn't working. The schools are now hiding behind anglo - saxon names on their applications to appear legit.
Can you say "backfire" So how much money goes from the state of Texas to Oklahoma, Louisana, Atlanta and Arkansa Gulen Charter Schools? Open up the books Soner instead of begging for more millions $$$$.

ReplyDeleteBreaking News, Louisiana's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) revoked Pelican Educational Foundation's Charter to operate Abramson Science and Technology Charter School in New Orleans. Furthermore, Pelican has lost several court challenges to compel BESE to give them a hearing. The Kenilworth Charter school is also now under investigation. I hope their charter is revoked as I don't believe Pelican should be allowed to operate any school. Stay tuned to www.nola.com and follow me on Twitter @KHRoyal for further updates.
ReplyDeleteKarran you are so correct! Do not let this group bully you or turn this into some kind of religious or racial persecution. They are trying to do this and are classically not accountable and have shifted the blame to others like the writer who broke the story. Same thing state to state - country to country with this group. Stand tall like a proud Louisana citizen - Americans united. Shame on the Pelican Educational Foundation!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to know what they are going to be like after infiltrating the whole country, look at Turkey. Since dec. 17th, 2013 they are showing all their capabilities after infiltrating important positions all over the country. They have positions everywhere. Despite knowing since the mid 90ies what they are, i must say, i am shocked to see their real face and their agressivity
