leftys biased history to be rewritten
Aug 31^st, 2010 at 10:21am

look at this for a marrow chilling peek of the left

Quote:

.......The Coalition's education policy broadly supports Labor's moves towards a nationally consistent curriculum, due to be introduced next year, but it accuses Labor of politicising the draft curriculum in history.

The policy is critical of the absence of references to the Magna Carta and the Westminster parliamentary system, which underpin Australia's legal and political systems.

It is critical of students being taught about the ''day-to-day activities of trade unions and the history of the Australian Labor Party''..........

The unions have played an important part in our history. Without them we would still be working for a dollar a day.

Do you remember when John Howard got together with Gerard Henderson and they wrote a history book - the way they believed it should be taught in our public schools.

Thank God that book never got into the system.

I think the education system has proven time and time again, that they are not be trusted to formulate the curriculum on their own.

Considering half arsed spelling and non-existant grammar is the new low standard for our schools these days.

The Bachelor of Arts has been around for about 2,000 years; at least since Ancient Greece (it was called "Music" back then), so I can't see it disappearing anytime soon.
Or maybe you have some magic formula of how to do away with the soft sciences? The last person I confronted that tried to argue this used a soft science approach to do away with the soft sciences. Roll Eyes

I don't want to do away with them...the girls who do these courses are great as bedroom fodder for BSc students, and the blokes who do the courses are great at being the butt of our jokes.
