Why, All of the Sudden, Is Freaking "Turkish" So Important?
- Texas teachers examine Turkish education system.A delegation of school managers and teachers from Texas have come to Turkey to examine the Turkish education system as part of efforts to make Turkish an elective course at state-run schools in the United States. Three state-run schools in Texas, which is a pilot region, are already offering Turkish as an elective course to their students.The Texas school managers and teachers came to Turkey as part of an initiative of the Raindrop Foundation.Raindrop Foundation President Mehmet Okumuş said the first support for their project to make Turkish an elective course at state-run schools in the United States came from Austin.“Currently, three state-run schools in Texas have begun to offer Turkish as an elective course. This trip of the Texas delegation is important so that our project can be applied all throughout the US,” he said.Turkish is seen as an important language by the US, particularly with regard to the issue of national security. The Raindrop Foundation gives Turkish courses to US nationals in regions neighboring Texas: Oklahoma, Mississippi, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Arkansas. The Raindrop Foundation also organizes the Turkish Language and Culture Olympiad every year to encourage students to learn Turkish.Hmmmm....Turkish important to national security?A Guide to the Gulen Movement's Activities in the US,surprise the raindrop foundation is there.Goals of the Gulen movement.How the U.S. Gulen Charter schools serve the Gulen movement.And what's the Obama's administration and Gulen their "Relation"?

- Dutch minister gives Turkish deputy a lesson on freedoms.Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner has opposed critical remarks by Socialist Party (SP) deputy Saadet Karabulut about the Gülen movement, inspired by internationally respected Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen, and said the movement is very successful in integrating into Dutch society. Putting emphasis on freedom of religion and human rights, Donner said the Gülen movement does not pose any threat to the Dutch state, as the deputy argues, but stands as the most successful group among Turks living in the Netherlands with regards to integration.The Interior Affairs Commission of the Dutch Parliament yesterday discussed the Gülen movement based on a report prepared by anthropologist Martin van Bruinessen of Utrecht University upon a request from the Ministry of Integration. The meeting was scene to heated debates between SP’s Turkish deputy Karabulut and Interior Minister Donner.Hmmmm....Same schooling system they want in texas and the USA."Fethullah Gulen's Missionary Schools in Central Asia and their Role in the Spreading of Turkism and Islam .Read the full integration story here.

See how they lie? Learning Turkish is not really an important skill to the US. Osker Olgurtz of the Sonoran Science Academy in Az. stated that Turkish is number 6 language on the planet. Not true, Turkish is in fact somewhere down around the 25th most common language. The Gulen Charter Schools here in this country are all about expansionism and they are growing at an alarming rate. Many of the schools are in finicial disaster due to money mismanagment, but yet they can find the money to open more schools and use that start up money for more HB-1 visas (our tax money to bring in more Turks.) Many of these schools will go to the barest minimum efforts to locate quailified math and science teachers. For example in order to bring someone in on a visa they have to proove that they cannot find quailified candiates but they do have advertise for those jobs. The Lotus school as well as Sonoran Science Academy advertises jobs openings looking for quailified teachers on Craigslist.

Lnowing that anyone with a degree who would be looking for a job would use more conventional and mainstream medias when looking for a job. This is there idea of stating that they have advertised but cannot find quailified applicants. Someone should contact the department of immigration about this practice.
