I have not yet seen this documentary, but I intend to.  This documentary is about how states are using taxpayer money to pay for charter schools that are owned and operated by a group of Turkish men that follow an Imam called the Gulen Movement.Watch the trailer first:https://vimeo.com/152654863Then read this article:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anna-clark/killing-ed-the-film-that-_b_9547962.htmlI only just now found out about this from my son. 4951

This country had better wake up and take measures to reverse the damage done in recent years. This is absolutely a crock!I wondered about that 'Harmony' education building on the beltway- never see any activity there. Bet the only activity is a transfer of funds to their accounts. 4951

The STAAR test is another catastrophe. I'm in a Facebook group called Texas Parents Against STAAR, or something like that, and their experiences are mind-boggling. 4951

Quite informative.  What a find most interesting is the assertion that members of Congress and apparently influential school officials in the various states, including Texas, are aware of the origins of this organization and it has not rang alarm bells. Particularly given the fact that when President Obama wanted to speak to our nations school children it damned near caused mass hysteria among some because they were convinced he is a socialist and a Muslim and was someone looking to indoctrinate the children.Yet this Turkish organization, that has been declared a terrorist group by Turkey itself, whom is reportedly under FBI scrutiny, is allowed to open multiple schools nationwide with an influx of so-called teachers from another country that are clearly unqualified.   You can't make this stuff up. 4951

Terrorists have said they will kill us from within our borders by using our laws against us. I'm afraid this is happening now. 4951

For a list of the charter schools owned by the Turkish men following the Islamic Gulen Movement, click on this link.http://charterschoolscandals.blogspot.com/p/list-of-us-gulen-schools.htmlFor some reason, Texas has more of these charter schools than any other state. 4951
