Woke, socialism, and CRT.

Three things that cause irrational fear and hysteria in uneducated conservatives, and three things that not a single one of them can define.

Educated, rational person: "What is 'woke', exactly?".

Poorly educated conservative: "Well, I don't really know but I know I don't like it".

WOKE was originally the idea of knowing what was happening, man - but it started to become polluted when they went into 'especially about race, gender' etc... once that happened it wasn't a matter of seeing reality - being awoke to it - it was a matter of re-creating it into a much better image of itself and twisting reality to suit any vague ideology that came along to which the individual claiming to be 'woke' attached self like a leech ..... by any means fair or foul

We thus have the spectacle of a Kat here - woke as they can't come once they're chopped - saying that opposing schools usurping parental rights when a kid claims to be 'transgender' is somehow 'neanderthal' and 'transphobic'.  Now that's the kind of school massacre I'm talking about - schools massacring civil and legal rights as if by some clear mandate and absolute right to do so.

That's the kind of insanity that now has taken over Woke, mah man.... and it ain't woke no mo'!  It IS the disaster worse than any epidemic.

The New Woke is seeing clearly WTF this insanity called Woke has become....

The majority understand that being called woke is a compliment.

Few on the right understand what woke means and NO: wearing a woman's wig is clearly not it.

And no Woke also does not mean anything you don't like either.

You're using the same style of BS line that leftiods used to justify Saputo going woke, giving in & changing the name of Coon cheese to Cheer Cheese.

When it came about by over a decade of harassment through the media & courts by serial pest & Aboriginal activist Michael Hagan who claimed the name of the cheese was deliberately racist & it hurt his feelings.

Never mind the fact it was named after its inventor Edward William Coon. ::)

“Woke’’ universities are instructing trainee teachers in gender theory, climate activism and race relations, as young teachers demand practical classroom skills.

One in five teachers has warned the federal Education Department that universities failed to teach them all the practical skills required to teach children to read and write, or to manage classrooms.

Up to one-third of recent teaching graduates from some universities declared their degree had failed to prepare them for the classroom.


Teachers-in-training have been lectured on “postmodernism, existentialism and reconstructionism” in the University of Canberra’s initial teacher education degree.

Course materials sent to students show lecturers have critiqued the “social and political content’’ of the Australian Curriculum, mandated by the nation’s education ministers for teaching children from primary school through to year 10.

A lecture slide notes “we aren’t even doing a very good job”, tallying up 19 references to social justice, Aboriginal rights, invasion, colonisation, the Stolen Generation, assimilation, social justice and racism.

[b]Thousands of students skipped school on Friday to march in “School Strikes 4 Climate’’ protests in Brisbane, Darwin and Melbourne.[/b
One protester brandished a misspelt placard declaring “I’M MAD AND DISSAPOINTED”.

Two of Australia’s most eminent scientists – Nobel laureate and Australian National University vice-chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt and former chief scientist Dr Alan Finkel – this week criticised the poor levels of literacy and numeracy among school students and called for greater focus on schools teaching the basics of English and mathematics.

The mind-rotting Left is marching through the institutions, especially education. It is purposeful, strategic.

are 'Self Destructive'. An implosion opposite of the Confederate 'explosion' (Civil War), that will result in 'Suicide'.

The Grey South are long gone.

As the WOKE movement is heavily from the Media culture, it's intrusion on Politics has been negative.

The Senate inquiry’s terms of reference emphasised that, based on a 2018 Program for International Assessment analysis, Australian classrooms are some of the most chaotic globally, ranking 69th out of 76 jurisdictions.

Ashman argues that part of the issue is that our education bureaucracy is influenced by ideologies that do not recognise bad behaviour for what it is. Poor behaviour is interpreted as a “form of communication,” meaning a child or teenager is in need of extra support, not consequences.

This is reflected in the comments posted by teachers in online forums: “Apparently we are not supposed to use the term ‘behaviour’ anymore,” wrote one teacher just this week. “Apparently behavioural issues are ‘wellbeing’ issues. And behaviour is a stigmatising term for young people.”

In some cases, bad behaviour is medicalised as Oppositional Defiant Disorder – a disorder that is recognised by the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5). It may be appropriate to use this label in some cases. However, once a disorder has been diagnosed, all consequences can be interpreted as “discrimination”. Schools are required to be “inclusive” and that means being inclusive of children with ODD.

Disability and mental health diagnoses of all types are on the rise. Last year, 22.5 per cent of schoolchildren in NSW were identified as having at least one “disability”, a label that often works as a get-out-of-consequences-free card.

Given the war stories and dire statistics, perhaps it should be no surprise that 40 per cent of teachers leave the profession within just five years. We do not expect other professionals to work in environments where they are disrespected and, at times, abused just for doing their jobs.

But ultimately, the real victims in all of this are the pupils who are just trying to learn. Disruptive children make it hard for everyone to concentrate, and one problem child can detrimentally impact an entire classroom.

Given the lack of control in our classroom environments, perhaps it is no surprise our literacy and numeracy standards continue to decline. Despite the hundreds of billions spent on education.

I agree with much of this Frank but I may comment that reflecting back a lot of years it seems obvious that the majority of kids who exhibited bad behaviour had obvious psychological problems. Not saying that it should be tolerated but maybe treatment. I never once seen punishment rectify bad behaviour in the classroom. Obviously it cannot be ignored so something would need to be done.

But Johnny Can’t Spell G-A-Y
With large majorities of their students incompetent in English and math, Los Angeles schools are ramping up efforts—for more gay pride and gender indoctrination.




It has been almost 90 days since Gay Pride month. According to the Los Angeles Unified School District, that is too long a hiatus from the imperative of immersing young children in the arcana of gay and trans identity. So throughout the week of October 9, many elementary school classrooms in Los Angeles will celebrate “National Coming Out Day,” which falls on October 11. 

October is itself LGBTQ+ History Month, the Los Angeles Unified School District bureaucracy has reminded what it calls the district’s “fabulous educators.” Other LGBTQ+ programming will take place throughout October, picking up where Gay Pride month left off.  The goals for the so-called Week of Action are ambitious: to turn six-year-olds into budding gender and critical race theorists.

An LAUSD teacher forwarded me the district’s “toolkit” for teachers laying out that agenda. Use of the toolkit, decorated with a Black Power Fist superimposed on neon rainbow stripes, is nominally optional, but elementary school teachers who forego LGBTQ programming during the Week of Action will surely risk stigmatization.

Oregon again says students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color

Opponents argued that pausing the requirement devalues an Oregon diploma. Giving students with low academic skills extra instruction in writing and math, which most high schools did in response to the graduation rules, helped them, they have argued.

But leaders at the Oregon Department of Education and members of the state school board said requiring all students to pass one of several standardized tests or create an in-depth assignment their teacher judged as meeting state standards was a harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students, a misuse of state tests and did not translate to meaningful improvements in students’ post high school success.

“(It) holds that people are defined by, indeed imprisoned in, group characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation or sometimes national history, rather than by their own moral and intellectual choices. It pits group against group and engenders endless sterile conflict. It rewards confected victimhood, endlessly seeking out new villains to demonise, or old villains to demonise in new ways.”

It's the lazy, timelessly stupid "there are two kinds of people" way of seeing and living in the world.

Everyone is 1000% against what Hamas have done and believe those responsible should be caught and punished but killing 10,000 innocent people does nothing to achieve this.

It didn't start with the Hamas attack as awful as that was, This was likely a response to decades of occupation expansion and murders. Israel continue to take more and more and more land for their settlements.

There are two pivotal problems in education – politics and evidence-based research. The politics of education is about pacifying the many institutional stakeholders – these are professional groups, with the teacher unions top of the list. State education ministers, bureaucrats and organisations such as ACARA function to manage stakeholders, offering concessions here and there, to minimise political trouble. Politics not performance is the priority.

There is no political accountability for school performance. None. There is no measure of overall school performance advanced at state elections. The decline continues, always masked, yet doing immense damage. Political leverage for improvement is almost non-existent.

Governments keep announcing pledges to improve Australia’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) skills but seem unable to confront the demise that Jensen’s report documents at school. The decline in senior students taking science is known. How many more reports are needed before somebody in charge breaks the glass?

The absence of evidence-based research is pervasive. What Jensen’s report shows is that ACARA doesn’t have a good analysis of what’s being taught in classrooms. If it doesn’t know, what hope have the rest of us got?

The resistance to evidence-based research is notorious. It took decades for phonics to be accepted as the method for teaching kids how to read. Most schools still operate in defiance of evidence that direct, explicit instruction is the superior method of teaching. Most universities refuse outright to run evidence-based teacher training courses.
...
Jensen’s 44-page report shows by the time Australian students finish year 8, they will have covered less than half as much science content as the average of every other system compared.

Australia is a curriculum outlier. Experts often analyse curriculum as a trade-off between breadth and depth. But the Australian curriculum, unfortunately, lacks “both breadth and depth”.

The real significance of the Jensen project is that the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, the independent statutory authority, has not done its job during and after the development of the Australian curriculum during the Rudd-Gillard era.

In criticising ACARA, Jensen told this paper neither the research on quality curriculum nor the benchmarking against other systems had been done to deliver a world-class Australian curriculum.

A local council in inner Melbourne plans to replace the Australian flag with the flags of minority groups multiple times per year as part of a “ridiculous” new policy.

Under their updated flag policy, the City of Yarra will fly 20 different flags across its Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy town halls as well as Clifton Hill depot.

While each site will fly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags every day of the year, the Australian flag will be rotated with several other flags – including the aromantic flag (for people who feel no romantic attraction) and the flag of a west African state that doesn’t officially exist.

The updated flag policy states that the Australian flag will be removed and both indigenous flags flown at half mast three times per year – Australia Day, April 15 (to mark the release of the Aboriginal deaths in custody report) and on May 26 (Sorry Day).

The updated flag policy was hidden away in the City of Yarra’s governance report, which the Greens and Socialist-dominated council passed unanimously in August.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "woke" as "alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice".

While the word originally meant "aware" or "well-informed" in a political or cultural sense, it has gained a more specific and often contentious meaning in recent years.

Here's a more detailed look:
Original Meaning:
The word "woke" originally meant "to awaken from sleep".
Figurative Meaning:
It evolved to mean being aware, or well-informed, especially in a political or cultural context.
Modern Usage:

The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice". This usage is often associated with social justice movements like the Black Lives Matter movement.


The 'right' of politics (including the right-wing-shock-jocks and online-vloggers) are simply the WORST in this gap in their personal education

Even Dutton used the word on several occasions even, of course, in the recent election campaign- that saw him lead the Liberal Party of Australia to its most decimating defeat since Federation

It is believed Mr Dutton first learned the word ''woke'' from a bigger boy - on SKY TV NEWS'S ''bat-sh!t-crazy-hour''

What the referendum has shown is that Australia does not want or like, by a large, convincing margin,  race-based special pleading in law by Aborigines. 

But what we all see, post-referendum, is various governments are pressing on with accommodating race based special pleading in law by Aborigines.
In addition we also see other racial and ethnic groups also pressing their race-based, ethnic special pleading with governments. And governments by and large go along and accommodate them.

Woke apparently.


Yep.

It's funny these people look at this guy and think that's them, but they're the ones crying tears on the Internet.

What's even more mind-boggling is those who were vocal about their opposition to the Voice are crying more now after the referendum went their way.

Who would have thought they'd cry more after winning...?!

I certainly didn't.



What the referendum has shown is that Australia does not want or like, by a large, convincing margin,  race-based special pleading in law by Aborigines. 

But what we all see, post-referendum, is various governments are pressing on with accommodating race based special pleading in law by Aborigines.
In addition we also see other racial and ethnic groups also pressing their race-based, ethnic special pleading with governments. And governments by and large go along and accommodate them.



Then there is this, proof/exhibit No 654:

you just can't keep pretending that the referendum was whatever you want it to be. The referendum was about changing the constitution. That was what people voted against. It wasn't a vote against closing the gap, it wasn't a vote against recognition, it wasn't a vote against laws that help aborigines, it wasn't a vote to be a racist crunt ....

It was a rejection of race and ethnicity based special pleading in law - like I said, Thicko.

It was a referendum on upholding equality before the law, Thicko. 


Are you saying that Aborigines are abusing, murdering each other, neglecting and abusing their children, live in squalor because of equality before the law, because of legalised, codified equality of opportunity - but for Aborigines, equality is discrimination against them and a hindrance to their joining civilisation??


I don't think there is anything special about Aborigines - is that wacist crunt talk? Must we all maintain strict race based differentiation so as NOT to be called wacist crunts by thick, broom-jockey concreters like you and that other preening moron in nappies?


Go, sweep up, bozo.

It was a rejection of amending the constitution. The same reason most referendums in this country have failed.

It was a rejection of any and every thing that suggested that somehow, just by being Aboriginal, some people had some sort of special right to things that nobody else has - and at the same time it was a rejection of the statement that they were somehow different and above all others and should therefore have special rights = Apartheid.

There is no coming back from that Electoral Death.... not at any level.... once it has passed over into the Underworld of having been voted out - NO government may proceed with it or any part of it.

That election had to be rigged...

Is that all you've got - the continual use of the race card?

If your brain wasn't so clouded with weed smog you might be able to contribute something sensible.

Woke certainly destroyed the Democratic party



The Oxford English Dictionary defines "woke" as "alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice".

While the word originally meant "aware" or "well-informed" in a political or cultural sense, it has gained a more specific and often contentious meaning in recent years.

Here's a more detailed look:
Original Meaning:
The word "woke" originally meant "to awaken from sleep".
Figurative Meaning:
It evolved to mean being aware, or well-informed, especially in a political or cultural context.
Modern Usage:

The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice". This usage is often associated with social justice movements like the Black Lives Matter movement.


[size=12]The 'right' of politics (including the right-wing-shock-jocks and online-vloggers) are simply the WORST in this gap in their personal education

Even Dutton used the word on several occasions even, of course, in the recent election campaign- that saw him lead the Liberal Party of Australia to its most decimating defeat since Federation

It is believed Mr Dutton first learned the word ''woke'' from a bigger boy - on SKY TV NEWS'S ''bat-sh!t-crazy-hour''

WOKE update



Quote:
Sussan Ley speculated to advocate for ‘woke’ issues in parliament

[size=12]Sky News contributor Prue MacSween calls Opposition leader Sussan Ley a "seat warmer" until the "real players emerge" from the Liberal Party.

"I doubt that she will stray very far from her real opinions about, you know, Palestine, some of the woke things that she really has always advocated," Ms MacSween told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
