Open Letter Condemning the Purge of Academic Institutions in Turkey

Of One Essence is the Human Race, Thusly has Creation put the Base. One Limb impacted is sufficient, For all Others to feel the Mace. The Unconcern'd with Others' Plight, Are but Brutes with Human Face.

We visited Turkey several times, we love the country and the people living in that wonderful part of Mother Earth We support every thing, every person, every movement who honour this planet and these so vulnerable beings living on it.

As a teacher in New York City and a holder of multiple college degrees, I strongly condemn the actions of President Erdogan. He is looking more and more like a dictator and less and less like a democratically elected president.

Hope the people who stopped the tanks will also protest against Erdogan's authoritarian measures.

It is so sad to see the Turkish government undo all the work of Ataturk.

This is an attempt to deepen an already dire state of affairs in Turkey by a man who only values democracy for as far as it affords him the ability to destroy it and feed off its carcass.
