In North Carolina, public education is a core function of state and local government. The state constitution, in the words of the N.C. Supreme Court, recognizes the right to a “sound, basic education” for every child in the state. But public education need not and should not be delivered by government monopolies, as a diverse array of magnet, charter, and private schools are demonstrating across the country and here in North Carolina. In the end, no system for delivering goods and services functions well without providing a means for consumers to make their desires known and express their level of satisfaction.
School choice and competition

charter schools are publically funded yet privately managed, there is a high incidence of fraud and embezzlement attached to many Charter schools throughout the USA. It is only as good as the honesty, integrity and AGENDA of the management company. The Gulen movement, headed by Islamic Imman Fethullah Gulen manages over 120+ US Charter schols in the USA. In NC it is the Triad Math and Science Academy
1) these schools are under a network of foundations and institutes, for NC it is : Mid Atlantic Federation of Turkish American Association. Istanbul Center, Nile Foundation, Global Spectrum Foundation, they sponsor all the contests and events the Gulen schools win awards at: Math Counts, Science Olympiad and Turkish Olympiad.
2) the schools hire un credentialed teachers form Turkey under HB-1 Visas, and advertise them as “Turkish Scholars” the principals are always male and Turkish. The children are taught Turkish Language and perform the Turkish National Anthem, dancing, singing at the Turkish Olympiads and are flown to Turkey to perform. While waving the Islamic Flag of Turkey.
3) The Gulen Schools have mismanaged funds some have closed some are on probation, they launder money from foundation to foundation over state lines or pay a Turkish business to complete “construction or consultation” work for the schools, money in and out -vertical and horizontal. Dove Science Academy in Tulsa, OK -had a rape on campus in the girls restroom Beehive Science Academy in UT- had a chronic mismanagement issue over $53,000 on HB-1 Visas Chesapeake Science Academy in MD- closed had a Turkish male principal who was sexist, had to be escorted off campus by the police. Coral Science Academy in NV- had an attempted kidnapping on campus And the list continues……DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE GULEN MOVEMENT AND HOW THEY USE RELIGION AND POLITICS TO FURTHER THE AGENDA OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY. http://www.charterschoolwatchdog.com
These schools are part of a greater network known as the Gulen Movement. Which is in fact active members are within are viewed as Islamic Cultsits. Part of the movement os to install Turkish pride and Nationalism within the students. for more information read here.
