Coming to a school near you

Below is an updated list of the "Gulen-inspired" charter schools as provided by Charter School Scandals.com. We are providing our readers with this list as a "warning," and do so hesitantly, because we do not want to in any way -- endorse the schools.

Again, we encourage our readers to read the following websites: Charter School Scandals, and Turkish Charter Schools. And for those skeptics who believe that our sites are all run by the same people -- you are wrong.

The American people are finally figuring it out, and as a result, the websites are being developed and managed by people fed up with being used, abused, and lied to, by Gulen's network of Fethullachi's.

From: Charter School Scandals:

"UPDATED ON 09/23/2010: The count is up to 150!

This is a tally of known Gulen charter schools (established or attempted) and their parent organizations, followed by a table of the schools in each state. This is followed by a list of affiliated preschools, private schools, and post-secondary schools. Please note the high degree of mutability of the names of the parent organizations. h/t to the Gulen Charter Schools Web site.

Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) are provided if currently available at the National Center for Charitable Statistics where the most recent publicly available IRS tax returns (990s) can be viewed.
