21,000 teachers and 1.5k deans. This is the kind of thing that pushes the education system and thus the country back a decade. How are they gonna find replacements? How are the students gonna cope without teachers? What is Erdogan trying to do..

What's a decade when the aim is for XVI century.

Replacement? Why not clerics? He is trying to turn the country to an Islamic state with him as the Sultan.

It's starting to seem like they had these lists made up ahead of time and have been waiting for the right time to start cleansing the ranks.

This is exactly what's going on. As bad as the putsch is, in the end the wrong guy is in power if you value democracy and freedom of religion.
