More reckless criticism of the education in schools. As an ex-teacher I find these extremist comments about teachers being all left-wing agitators and not teaching the curriculum up there in the world of la la land. Maybe Jonny O’Brien should revisit a school and see what’s going on, not repeat Murdoch press or the red-head’s fantasies. No evidence offered, maybe he should praise the students for critical thinking.
As for his repeat of disproven political theory, he is also at least 50 years late – students of all ages were protesting against the Vietnam war despite the same criticisms, (‘too young to make a decision’).
And then the cake – blaming the current federal Labor party. Wow, time to expand your news and current affairs sources rather than the Murdoch press decisions about what our news and political beliefs should be.
