* Houston is also where the Gulen Institute, the multi-state branched Institute of Interfaith Dialog and Raindrop Turkish House (both Gulenist organizations) are located. It is also the home to some of the Gulen movement's most prominent non-native Turkish American supporters, namely William Martin and Helen Rose Ebaugh. In other words, the fact that Houston has a high concentration of Gulen charter schools is not a coincidence.

    Excellent!
    Hopefully the good people of Texas will wake up after this current investigation.
    $6 million in Travel Expenses the last 3 years from Cosmos Foundation is suspect. This amount coupled with JUST ONE of their other psuedo "foundations" Pelican Educational Foundation (currently under investigation after the suspension of management from Abramson Science and Technology) equals over $7.7 million in Travel Expenses in the last 3 years for 2 states. That is a lot of free trips to Turkey and money stolen from the children's education and tax payers.
