Gulenists also operate private schools in the USA, however they are financial strapped and selling them. Amity School or Brooklyn Amity School started in 1999 and is the second Gulen private school to sell after Putnam in CT. Varol Gurler who is now the principal at Magnolia Science Academy Santa Ana was a principal here. Varol also taught at the Gulen school in Arizona : Sonoran Science Academy and Colorado: Lotus School of Excellence. There will be more Gulen private schools and colleges sold in the coming months in the USA. http://gulencharterschoolsusa.blogspot.com/2016/12/second-gulen-private-school-to-sell.html http://fetofacts.us/2016/12/14/feto-linked-private-school-in-new-york-to-be-put-up-for-sale/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
