Thumbs up Cultural leftism is on the run

It's great to see that sanity is once again returning to this fine land http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nati...1226798590821#

So for those of that would never consider paying to read The Australian what are the elements of this 'cultural left agenda'?

Kinda makes you wonder if they bought the same "Bumper Book of Right Wing F**kery" as Cameron evidently purchased a year or two back. Certainly seem to be playing out the same failed, moronic policies as he has.

Bedroom tax is next.

Then kicking out the NZ'ers

And of course a referendum, on something or other, after the next election so he thinks he can get back in to organise it.

Can't we just lock them all up now so we don't have to suffer through their inept mismanagement; followed by the inevitable court cases for crimes against humanity?

Yes, I'm sick of a body of educators being in charge of the national curriculum that has been accepted in labor and conservative states ...a hard-right member of the Liberal Party like Kevin Donnelly would obviously be a lot more qualified.

Though the Liberal Party press release does tell us that "Dr Donnelly is currently Executive Director of the Education Standards Institute".

"currently" ? I would have thought "always" was more appropriate given a lookup of the ABN shows it is just a consultancy owned by K DONNELLY FAMILY TRUST to spout his views and collect his fees, not an important educational body like is implied.

Maybe Philip Morris cigarettes is still sponsoring him to do education packs for kiddies and they could be written into the national curriculum.

Donnelly makes sense here: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/34718.html

If education can be cleansed of left wing political correctness then students will then be free to make up their own minds

I'm still not seeing it. I'm reading that Australian kids shouldn't be taught about Aboriginal culture / history but they should learn about the Magna Carta!

I'm getting the impression that they should know that:

Christian morality underpins much of our way of life
Um, no thanks...keep that for the home thanks very much!

Let's face it...the balanced classroom you're after is one where the socialist (yawn) teachers are done away with and are replaced with Cory Bernardi on a big screen reading from his new book...with Ann Coulter as virtual classroom assistant!

The Magna Carta is more relevant to modern Australia than aboriginal culture is. We are a strong, peaceful and successful western democratic country with values built on a judeo-christian foundation. Why on earth would we want to erode that foundation?

Nice try. I'm opposed to segregation - both apartheid and multiculturalism.

No one is eroding any foundation...there is zero evidence to suggest that this is happening. I find it strange the ease with which you seem to glibly accept soundbites from right leaning media and commentators but in other areas you take your research to the nth degree. As I've said before, you're obsessed with the notion of political correctness and see it even when it's not there.
