In a true democracy, the leaders of this movement argue, private schools should not exist as they are symbolic of social distinctions. All secondary schools must be run by the state, they conclude, in order that social inequality may be avoid- ed and also in order that uni-; formity, “the essence of the repub-| lic,” may be obtained. Even the strict governmental in- spection of all private schools, Turkish as well as foreign, which was inaugurated by Kemalists, does not ensure the desired uni- formity, according to the private school. abolitionists.
