Wasn’t there a series of charter schools that are actually pretty bad that were Muslim?

I’m not talking bad about Muslim people or religion.

I’m pretty sure I heard about a group of charter schools doing the whole “kick out kids with bad grades so you can say you have the best school” type of thing. And one of the groups of schools caught doing that happened to be Muslim?

Just asking for clarification not trying to slam anyone if I’m wrong.

Edit: For fucks sake you guys.

“In May 2016, Amsterdam & Partners LLP filed a complaint with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) alleging Harmony Public Schools engaged in employment discrimination based on national origin and gender, improper vendor selection, and misappropriation of public funds. The complaint also raised concerns about potential ties to the Gülen movement, led by Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen.[18]”

Exactly like I explained. A Muslim school but the problem wasn’t about them being Muslim. Discrimination and misuse of funds.

Not religious. To be clear the case may be unfair I don’t know, but that was my question. It sounded familiar so I asked. I’m not a keyboard warrior doing activism from a toilet seat. Im talking to people and changing minds. I need the answer because someone’s going to ask me and I need and answer. Don’t worry I found it myself.

Don’t eat your own. One Quick Look at my profile would show I’m very open minded and a democrat. Chill out. Let people question things or we become just as bad as trump. It was honest and in good faith. Chill out.

Edit 2: I know I’m ranting now but I’m upset. This is why we have so much trouble swaying the vote. Everyone wants to put their foot down and say “it’s not my job to explain things” and that’s all well in good but it’s exactly how we got here. It has to be someone job. We have to answer questions and help people understand things. This is why things are so fucked. If it’s an honest question meet it honestly. Work with people. That’s why everything is so screwed up.
