From Goose Network
I read the news (seems a bit late, though) that Harmony Public Schools
will receive almost 30 million dollars from the federal government as
part of the race-to-the-top program. That should be a well-deserved
accomplishment considering that Harmony Public Schools became a
nationwide brand after they were featured at 60 Minutes.
But on the other hand, this is an ironic piece of news for the members of Goose Network,
because these guys have been trying to defame some high-flying charter
schools for some time and this latest news should definitely be a blow
for their “holy” cause. I checked some of their websites and they mostly
ignore this accomplishment, while some flagship websites, like
CASILIPS, question the criteria of the Department of the Education for
the selection. I see that Goose Network members are trying to hide the
truth by ignoring it. Guys… please stop it, you are embarrassing
yourselves.
Now that Harmony Public Schools will be receiving the federal aid, are you going to stop defaming these schools as Gulen Charter Schools?
Or will you go too far by claiming that the White House is helping
Fethullah Gulen (!) I don’t think you will act that pathetic.
So, one question remains for the Goose Network:
“Are you mad, bro?”
Two points should be clear about the Gulen Charter Schools phenomenon: (1) "Gulen-inspired schools" refers to private schools established and run by Gulen-inspired entrepreneurs and educators in Turkey and around the world. (Naming them Gulen schools, or Gulen charter schools in the US is as wrong as it could be) (2) The US charter schools where some Gulen-inspired educators might happen to work are public initiatives and they are not affiliated with Fethullah Gulen or Gulen Movement in any way.
