Updated Jul. 2017 - Charter Schools alert: Gulen movement is funding stealth charter schools to spread Turkish Islamic doctrine - including at US military bases.

Tavares, FL April 1, 2016    -  Updated July 27, 2017 with more references.

The "Gulen" Charter Schools are founded by a Muslim from Turkey who is using Federal funds for them to spread Islamic culture

This is not an April Fool's joke.

The very credible "The Hill" reported yesterday that the secretive Turkish
Islamic Gulen movement based in the US is establishing undercover charter
schools to spread the Gulen doctrine.
If you are involved or care about K-12 education or charter schools, then
you should read this to understand if it happens in Lake County.

"A secretive Islamic movement is trying to infiltrate the
U.S. military by establishing and operating publicly-funded charter schools
targeted toward children of American service personnel."

A law firm reports they were hired to "conduct a
wide-ranging investigation into the operations and geopolitical influence of
the Gülen organization, which is behind the Coral Academy of Science and
over 140 other public charter schools scattered across 26 American states.
Our investigation, still in its early stages, reveals that the Gülen
organization uses charter schools and affiliated businesses in the U.S. to
misappropriate and launder state and federal education dollars, which the
organization then uses for its own benefit to develop political power in
this country and globally."
"Aside from defrauding American taxpayers, the Gülen
organization has an even more ominous objective in the United States. The
organization is one of the country's largest recipients of H1-B "specialty
occupation" visas, which it uses to import Turkish teachers into its charter
schools, supposedly because local U.S. talent is not available to fill math
and science teaching positions in its charter schools. The Gülen
organization illegally threatens to revoke these visas unless the Turkish
teachers agree to kick back part of their salary to the organization."
"Turkish teachers in Gülen organization charter schools are
evaluated not on the basis of their teaching skills, but rather on whether
they achieve monthly goals in a secret point system designed to instill
Turkish culture and Gülenist ideology in our American students. The goal, we
are told, is to develop a Gülenist following of high achievers, incubated in
our local community schools across the country."

Also, keep in mind that the ViaPort Mall in Leesburg, FL is owned by a Turkish firm. Turkey is 100% Islamic and is the country allowing many Islamic migrants to travel through them to Europe.
