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”.

For people who furiously deny they’re in the child grooming business, the “rainbow” creepers slithering into our schools sure act exactly like groomers. 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

fee.org The state-run school system as it stands is a one-size-fits-all monstrosity which crowds out private alternatives and spreads socialistic and anti-Christian propaganda. It’s time to think bigger than Friedman’s school vouchers: it’s time to separate school from state. Crowding Out If there is any stigma
Even more disruption is planned for school students this term, with PPTA members undertaking rolling strikes to put pressure on the government.

Helen Houghton Co-leader New Conservative The Ministry of Education needs to explain why they are deceiving parents. Parents have not had input into the appalling new sexuality guidelines that the MOE published in 2020, which have several alarming elements around privacy and parents’ rights.
