"60 Minutes" to Air Report on Turkish Charter School Cleric Tied to Bob Filner

Merhaba Ali; THank you for clarifying a few things, it is very proud that you are now President at Gulen Institute at the University of Houston as listed on your linked in profile. Not sure why you would be interested in this article way out west in California about Hocaefendi. I would also like to clarify a few things that you have conveniently omitted and ask a few questions if you dare to suddenly become transparent: 1) Hocaefendi Fethullah Mohammed Gulen only has a 5th grade education, and cannot be called any kind of scholar at all. 2) Dr. Helen R. Ebaugh is another paid academic puppet of the Gulen Movement, who has slipped up more than once in public talks about how "they have charter schools in Texas and they are causing a problem" Try the more unbiased, non- paid for opinions of academics of Dr. Aland Mizell, Dr. Joshua Hendrick, Dr. Dani Rodrik or perhaps the deposition of ex-FBI Turkish translator turned whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. 3) I was hoping you could clarify the Gulen Youth Platform Movement and how it is similar to the Hitler Youth Movement? 4) Could you care to comment on the Gulenists operated schools that are being denied? Like Fulton Science Academy, Truebright Science Academy, Mokapu STEM School, Knoxville Charter Academy, and the other 89 denied applications, renewals and expansions? 5) Can you comment on the Gulen Schools worldwide and the identical names of schools that are re cycled like: Zaman, Horizon, Cosmicus and more? http://www.gulenschoolsworldwide.blogspot.com 6) Will you verify the 30,000 inflated waiting list and why Dr. Soner Tarim your Superintendent in Texas of the Gulenist operated Harmony Science Academies changes this number on a whim? in 2009 at a board meeting it was 9-14,000, last year with PBS your organization stated 21,000, with "My San Antonio" newspaper the Charter organization of Texas stated there was 40,000 total kids on a waiting lists for charter schools. Can we have the list submitted to a third party to verify these unsubstantiated claims? 7) Why has the VP of the Texas Teachers Association Noel Candelaria gone on camera to dispell the lie that your h1-b Brehren / unqualified teachers state "There is a shortage of math and science teachers in America" 8) How is it that Turkey's education ranks below standard on the OCED rankings at 32 out of 34 countries (just above Chile and Mexico) that you and your organization profess to know how and why America should be educating their children according to a Turkocentric curriculum with your own contests and exhibits like: Turkish Olympiad, Science Olympiad, CONSEF, Math Matters, I-Sweep, Genius and more. 9) Will you sit down with official in Texas about the bond financing of $90 million and where this money is being wired to?
