Students taught to check their privilege and ‘deconstruct’ the Australian flag
Federal Education Minister Alan Tudge says students should be taught to defend symbols of their country, not tear them down, after controversial new lessons about the flag.
By James Morrow in The Daily Telegraph
State and federal education ministers have slammed divisive third-party learning plans promoted by the NSW Department of Education in the name of anti-racism, saying students should be taught to “defend our key institutions and symbols, rather than trying to destroy them”.
The learning plans were developed by third parties and linked to from the department’s website, though some of the links vanished last week as part of what the department called a website upgrade.
Among other things, the lessons called on students to “deconstruct” symbols of Australia including the flag, Australia Day and the national anthem.
In the flag exercise, developed by a group called “Cool Australia” and using a documentary about footballer Adam Goodes as a jumping off point, students are asked to “examine” the Australian flag and analyse it to see “who is included” and “who is excluded or not visible”.
The worksheet also asks students to summarise criticisms and defences of Australia Day as part of a project of “deconstructing symbols of Australia”, and points to a number of resources, almost all of them in favour of changing the date.
These include a Buzzfeed video titled Aboriginal people respond to Australia Day, links to ABC articles urging that the national day be changed, and an article on the website of The Ethics Centre that states “the date will change” as a matter of fact, adding, “the only reasons … for opposition to changing the date is white privilege, or perhaps even racism”.
An accompanying teachers’ guide suggests that to be marked correct, students should say that it “Erases Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty and custodianship of land”, and “Celebrates colonisation and erases the colonisers’ violent history towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”.
While there are no firm figures as to how many schools use the resource, the teachers’ website Education Matters claims “hundreds” of schools use the Goodes documentary in their classrooms.
Federal Education Minister Alan Tudge said the curriculum should “focus on how to defend our key institutions and symbols, rather than trying to destroy them”.
“Our flag represents the greatest country on Earth – one which 100,000 have died defending. It ought to be respected, not torn down,” he said.
NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell agreed, saying students “do not need incendiary external resources pushed into the classroom from third parties”.
Bella d’Abrera, director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs, was similarly scathing.
“The state government has no place actively promoting radical race theory to Australian children, who will grow up believing that Australia is irredeemably racist,” she said.

I agree. I find the comments very offensive.
But i have been banned from Twitter and The Guardian because lefties did not like my comments. Twitter has also banned Donald Trump. If they can ban the President of the USA what hope do i have???
So the question is what to do with offensive comments?? Leftie sites cannot stand anybody with a different opinion. Do you allow any comment no matter how offensive?? But like all things you have to draw the line somewhere.
I only just realised the IPL was kicking off on 19 September. There’s quite a bit of carry-on about Indian physios getting the couf, but as far as I’m aware the players themselves have all come up negative.
Which means they would potentially be able to take the field, or not – depending on the provincial government, or more likely, the persuasion of the franchise operators to said governments.
India have been running the game for years. It’s like the Cold War where they are the USSR and the rest of the cricketing nations are NATO. Individually, the other countries will be picked apart by fat businessmen from Calcutta.

I don’t have a problem with anyone disagreeing about Israeli Government policy, and I’m not a big fan of the pre-Independence period when I believe that British troops were murdered (admittedly my knowledge of that is sparse, so I’m happy to apologise if that was not the case). However rational debate requires rational counter-positions to be rationally expounded, and the avian virus does not do so. He merely repeats a subjective assertion for the purpose of depopulating the thread and the blog as a whole.
Regardless of the content of these assertions, this behaviour is not conducive to convivial (and sometimes lightly combative) discussion. If this were a business, would such behaviour be tolerated by the business owner?
