Magnolia Science Academy is without a doubt a Gulen Managed charter school

The Gulen Movement is fantastic at advertising, PR, and bestwowing fake honors on their students, politicians, local media and academia. The Parents4Magnolia blog is NOT American parents it is members of the Gulen Movement in damage control mode. Magnolia Science Academy, Pacific Technology School and Bay Area Technology is the name of their California schools. They are under several Gulen NGOs: Pacifica Institute, Willow Education, Magnolia Educaiton Foundation, Accord Institute, Bay Area Cultural Connection. Hizmet aka Gulen Movement will shamelessly act like satisifed American parents or students. They will lie, cajole, manipulate, bribe, blackmail, threaten, intimidate to get their way which is to expand the Gulen charter schools. If this doesn't work they play victim and cry "islamophobia". Beware of the Gulen propagandists and Gulen owned media outlets. DISCLAIMER: if you find some videos are disabled this is the work of the Gulen censorship which has filed fake copyright infringement complaints to Utube

Lately, though, the Gulen schools in the US have been coming under increased media scrutiny, facing questions not so much about the quality of education they offer, but rather about violations of financial, legal and ethical standards. One of the first major pieces to take a hard look at how the Gulen charter schools operate came in March of last year in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which claimedthat federal authorities were investigating several of the movement's schools for violating immigration laws and for forcing employees to send part of their paycheck back to Turkey.

In an article from a year ago, the New York Times took a look at several Gulen-affiliated charter schools in Texas, also suggesting that the schools are using taxpayer money to benefit the movement (known as "Hizmet" in Turkish) and businesses and vendors affiliated with it. Perhaps as a sign that the Gulen has truly hit the big time, last month 60 Minutes ran a piece looking at the movement's US charter schools, also raising questions about funny business going on in some of them (such as bringing over teachers from Turkey to teach English).

Gulen school administrators (who frequently deny their schools have any connection to the movement) have defended their institutions by pointing out to to what they say is a track record of academic excellence. Other defenders say the criticism of the schools is fueled by a wider anti-Islam bias in the US.


Teaching as CIA Cover–Gülen Charter Schools, Dan Burton, and State Secrets

The following continues Doug Martin’s look into the Gülen charter school movement, which began withIslam and the Free Market of Privatized Education: “Friending” the Gülen Charter Schools. It first appeared at Common Errant.

Besides noting U.S. charter school connections to the Fethullah Gülen Movement during her testimony in the Schmidt v. Krikorian case in Ohio on August 8, 2009,* former FBI language specialist-turned whistleblower Sibel Edmonds—an Iranian raised in Turkey before becoming a U.S. citizen—alleges a 1990s U.S./ Gülen al-Qaeda operation in Central Asian and a bribery scheme involving Indiana’s own U.S. House member Dan Burton.

Edmonds testified in candidate David Krikorian’s defense case before the Ohio Election Commission when Rep. Jean Schmidt, an Ohio Republican, filed charges against him for claiming, during a 2008 campaign bid, that she accepted money illegally from people with Turkey interests.

Edmonds’ deposition held many bombshells, since she had been translating wiretap conversations between those associated with the Turkish lobby.

It seems Gülen and the U.S. State Department, from 1997 to 2001, had been training al-Qaeda in Central Asian, with the help of the Turkish military, Pakistani ISI, and Azerbaijan officials (96), Edmonds says in response to questions from Krikorian’s attorney, Dan Marino. In a subsequent interview with retired CIA-counter-terrorism specialist Phil Giraldi (who believes her story), Edmonds details Gülen /U.S training missions and Turkish drug-smuggling into Chicago and Paterson, New Jersey, two hot-beds of the Gülen Movement, each containing Fethullah’s followers’ charter schools:

Accord Institute, part of the Gulen Movement management of Charter Schools

Here is the Accord Conference for teachers of Gulenist managed charter schools on the west coast.  Although the schools say they are not related the evidence is overwhelming.  The teachers that are Turkish or from Turkic countries all have ties to the Gulen foundations: Pacifica Institute, Gulen Institute, Dialogue Foundation, Accord Institute, and more.  The Accord Institute was housed in the same office as Pacifica Institute.  They are a management company of the schools which charges over $140.00 per child per year and they give seminars to make the schools and teachers appear as if they are in compliance with American Public School laws.  They put on a good show.

Gulen Movement 2013 Anatolia Festival in Orange County, CA will be visited by Magnolia Science Academy Students

Magnolia Science Academy Students go every year to the Anatolian Festival that is put on by the Gulen Pacifica Institute which is part of the Gulen multi layers of foundations and institutes.  This is an expensive production with a full display of an Anatolian Church (to satisfy the Christian patrons) There is Turkish dancing demonstrations, the Ottoman Military band, and the Whirling Dervishes (Sufi spinners)  The cost of this festival is tied into the schools and tax payers money.  Their h1-b Teachers must Tuzuk 40% of their salary to the foundations, and then the Accord Institute (which use to share space with Pacifica Insitute) charges $140.00 per child per year for their west coast schools.  This is Utah, Nevada, Arizona, NM, California.  But the schools are not related to each other are they?  Magnolia Science Academy, Bay Area Technology Schools, Pacific Technology School, Coral Academy of Science, Lotus School of Excellence, Sonoran Science Academy, etc.

Gulen Charter Schools in California, Lets get Turkish into your senses

Magnolia Science Academy at the Anatolia Festiva.  But they are not associated with the Pacifica institute right? or the Gulen Institute?  Who do they think they are kidding?
Magnolia Science Academy students at the Anatolia Festival.  But we are not associated with each other right?
Magnolia Science Academy picnic, Serving Turkish Sharwma to the students.  Get Turkish taste, sound, feel into your senses until you are Turkish and part of the Gulen Movement.
Magnolia Science Academy, Van Nuys, CA, Staff Picnic serving Turkish Sharwma.  Why is it that Americans are putting up with this blatent disregard for American Tax payers and culture??????  
Gulen Schools in California are Called Magnolia Science Academys, Pacific Technology Schools and Bay Area Technology Schools.  In Southern California they are called Magnolia Science Academy.  They are advertising they win Math, and Science Contests.  But the problem with this claim is that these contests are all sponsored by the Gulen Movement NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations)  These kids are medicore at best but the Gulen Propanganda labels them as "successful schools" why???? because they say so? 
Gulen Schools in California are having a rough go at it with loss of finances and lack of support from California Education departments.  Here is a montage of photos from California Gulen operated schools and how they are getting Turkish food, music, language and culture into the hearts, minds and souls of American kids. 
Winning at a Math tournament sponsored by Gulen NGOs is that really winning????
