Ohio: Muslim-Run Charter Schools Importing Teachers Directly from Turkey

Recently, I watched a speech by Diana West, wherein the Islamic infiltration of America is compared to the communist infiltration of America.

Ignore the anti-Nazi gibberish and lack of mention of the Jews, and it is a pretty thoughtful presentation.

This relates directly to a situation in Ohio, where Muslims are importing teachers to fill spots rather than hiring some of the 40,000 unemployed teachers in Ohio.

Cincinnati:

Horizon Science Academy in Bond Hill has the usual classrooms, books and lessons to teach kids seeking an alternative to regular public and private schools.

The charter school also employs seven foreign teachers, mostly from Turkey, brought to the U.S. on H-1B visas for jobs it says Ohio teachers are unqualified to fill.

Concept Schools, founded by followers of a Turkish Islamic cleric secluded in the Poconos, already is under federal and state scrutiny for possible irregularities in teacher licensing, testing and technology contracts.

An Enquirer investigation has found that Chicago-based Concept Schools, which runs Horizon and 17 other charter schools in Ohio, annually imports dozens of foreign teachers in numbers that far surpass any other school system in the state.

At least 474 foreign teachers, again mostly from Turkey, have arrived at Concept’s Ohio schools between 2005 and 2013. The schools are collecting about $45 million in state funds annually to educate 6,600 children in kindergarten through high school.

Critics say H-1B visas were designed to help companies temporarily employ highly skilled foreign workers in biotechnology, chemistry, engineering and other specialized fields – not K-12 teachers.

The Ohio Department of Education is weighing complaints from former Concept staffers that unlicensed, foreign teachers were used.

Ohio teachers, meanwhile, say plenty of qualified teachers are available for jobs being filled by the foreigners, especially since about 40,000 are still without teaching jobs because of the recession.

Concept officials defend the practice. They say it’s the only way to find qualified math and science instructors, adding that the international teachers add to the cultural experience of students.

“These teachers are hired legally and are here legally,” company vice president Salim Ucan said. “It’s not like we’re sneaking them across the borders. These are highly qualified people who have gone through the legal process to come here and make a difference in the lives of kids.”

Academically, Concept students perform no better or worse than children at the nearly 300 other charter schools in Ohio.

Ten of the Ohio Concept schools – more than half – received Ds on the state’s most recent performance index, a measure of how many students passed key achievement tests.

Horizon Science Academy was one of the schools getting a D.

Islam is a religion of global domination. It is openly that. It is also openly a religion of violence. The idea that we are allowing these people to infiltrate America, openly, is outright insane.
