Alwyn Poole alwynpoole.substack.com alwyn.poole@gmail.com This week most secondary schools have rostered home Year 9 & Year 10 students. The teacher unions try and tell New Zealand that they are doing this for the good of the children. This is despite the huge decline in attendance
Exciting to see the new programs just announced to boost boys’ performance in education. Boys can do anything! I jest, of course.

Whoever heard of drag queens in school libraries five years ago? Suddenly, they’re everywhere. There’s a reason for that. In 2019, Queer Theory academic and drag queen Harris Kornstein published a paper advocating “a drag pedagogy”. Kornstein explicitly stated that the purpose of Drag Queen Story Hour, which
When I returned to university to study journalism, it was quite an eye-opening process. I’m not just talking about the blatant left-wing bias of so many of the lecturers, who would spend entire lectures spouting conspiracies about Evil Rupert Murdoch and promoting “journalism through a Marxist lens”.

Groomers, after all, seek to break down children’s moral resistance by exposing them to sexualised material, in order to convince them it’s “normal”. They
As we all know, telling the unadorned truth is not in the ABC’s DNA. Naturally, then, they can’t bring themselves to come straight out and say, “Young women are still taking useless degrees.” Instead, Australia’s [taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network] national broadcaster has to dress it all up

When Neel Kolhatkar created his classic “Modern Educayshun” sketch, he forgot one very important thing: satire is redundant in Clown World.
