Brian do you support racial segregation in Australian schools?

Do you genuinely equate meeting the distinct educational needs of different communities with segregation?

Should we then do away with specialist schools for students who are deaf or blind, or close institutions that provide immersive language programs?

To claim that establishing a First Nations educational institute, one designed by their own people, rooted in their realities, and tailored to their needs, is somehow "racist" is absurd. That's not segregation, it's equity.

What you're really doing is twisting anti-racism into hollow slogans so you can attack Indigenous self-determination. It's prejudice dressed up as principle, hate cloaked in virtue.

Let's not confuse culturally responsive education with division. This is about justice, not separatism.

Unless, of course, this is just another excuse for the usual suspects to play the eternal victim… it's always the same script.

There are all sorts of excuses and exceptionalism that people use to justify racism. But at the end of the day, it is still racism. Australian citizens do not need different educational institutions because of their genetics.

That's Albo's plan - to have a permanent underclass who require the state to support them and can be a show-piece of state largesse as well as being a permanent group in rebellion to focus the minds of the ordinary folk on, and as economic times get worse and worse along with massive injections of funny people, many Wharte Australians - Tent City Slickers and such and all 'disadvantaged' people - will see the merits of being one of an underclass!!

Follow da marney!!

There's stupid then there's downright evil. We have a few from both columns on this forum. And the odd number with a foot in both camps.

It is only a proposal at this stage, but already you declare it as working.

Can you cite some previous example where throwing large but secret amounts of money at a problem in order to create a solution that is inherently racist has "worked"?
