Well, it had reached the point in Turkey where the only way to get rid of Erdogan and stop the country descending into an Islamist sharia hell hole was a successful coup since he has been systematically replacing pro democratic heads with Islamist ones of his own bent. The writing has been on the wall since Erdogans rise, but no one was listening. It's too late now.No. Does no one understand the function of a question mark?Did you support the alleged coup?The teachers who have taught Turkey about democracy and secular government are trash? The people who tried to keep their country from becoming another Islamist theocracy are trash? Please explain.Most will not see the end of the year
Erdogan is cleaning house and burning the trash
I believe Erdogan could have done that without firing 38,000 people and, according to Aris2, killing the majority of them. Why do you think he has taken over higher education? There is something in the content he finds threatening to his cause. Do you see how I might worry that some people in this country would like to eliminate all competing views in the education system, too?I would shitcan the union my first day on the throne. Why? They protect the incompetent and make it more about a good job instead of what should come first, the kids. I would also let parents send kids to a school of their choosing. That would create competition, empty schools get no funds.If you were King of the World, what changes would you make to America's education system? One thing you would either teach that isn't, or eliminate that is. And why.How do we do that here? We might have a future if we can.
Here Rosie? I didn't know we were pushing that.They aren't pushing communism. When did you graduate?"Turkey's Teachers are Toast"
Could we bring Erdogan over here to clean out the communist bastards from our universities too?
they are pushing totalitarianism and oligarchy and --control the masses with religious opium. shit by any other name still stinks
its a good thing cruz aint running....That's what happens when you let a religious nut/authoritarian come to power, next thing you know there is wide spead voter suppression in order to retain power.
Don't think it can't happen here.
I do hope that the extremist views I see here are the exception to the rule, but whether they realize it or not, some on the very far right seem to be doing exactly that. And Trump is their cheerleader.Well, the republicans and extremist on the right want to do exactly this. Promoting stupidity is a religious value!
CRUZ is the problem? OMG.its a good thing cruz aint running....That's what happens when you let a religious nut/authoritarian come to power, next thing you know there is wide spead voter suppression in order to retain power.
Don't think it can't happen here.
From Fox News Wednesday 7/20/16:
Turkish Higher Ed Council bans academics from traveling abroad and urges those overseas to return home immediately...Move comes as the gov't engages in widespread crackdown on those it suspects of involvement in Fri's failed coup...On Tuesday, authorities demanded resignation of 1,577 university deans, revoked licenses of 21,000 teachers and suspended 15,000 education ministry officials...
It's all over; freedom of thought is no longer legal in Turkey. From now on, It will be History, Philosophy and Civics according to Erdogan. Some will blame it on the Evil Muslims, but it's the same move that was made by China, by Russia, and probably by every other country that devolved into authoritarian rule. What will the next generation of Turkey's people believe? What they have learned, what is available for them to discover. The lights are going out in Turkey.
Let's make sure that never happens in our country. When some of you call our education system sheer shit and call our schools "indoctrination camps," think about what a real indoctrination camp is. Think about what is actually at stake when you call for making the public school curriculum and colleges less liberal-minded. Liberal-minded education gives both sides of the story, the winners and the losers. The people can decide if they want to take a side or just understand both. We would not have had a Revolution or be a country founded on the principles of the Enlightenment if our founding fathers had not learned the philosophies that shaped our Constitution and our country. The kings may not have been crazy about these ideas, but the words of the philosophers were in our libraries and were discussed by the thinkers of the time.
Why do I worry? What happened in Turkey can't happen here; that's absurd, right? On Wednesday, Trump told the New York Times “I give great credit to [Erdogan] for being able to turn that around,” praising Erdogan’s crackdown in response to an attempted military coup last week. Trump has shown admiration for Putin and Saddam Hussein, as well I do worry.

He has taken over education so he can Islamicise it and desecularise it. None of this should come as a surprise.I believe Erdogan could have done that without firing 38,000 people and, according to Aris2, killing the majority of them.

What I don't like is that Trump commented on strongarm tactics by all of these men he thought were effective--worthy of his admiration. They were tactics by dictators that would never fly in this democratic country. No one denies they are effective but I sure as hell don't want a leader here who uses them.From Fox News Wednesday 7/20/16:

Do you think Erdogan is friends with ISIS?Even if he can't detonate them, he has control of 8000 kilotons of nuclear weapons that belong to the US and NATO.

I think his comment was that it has now been demonstrated that some places NEED such leaders and they should have been left alone.
