§Gulen Charter School fruad and education 60 minutes
Some of these Gulenists receive a paycheck from the schools 40 to 50 k a year for not working, but attending college instead. That's right some are on the payroll and never set foot in the office. They go to university and you are paying for his Masters Degree or Phd. America is generous is it not?
