Historians have criticised federal Education Minister Alan Tudge for “playing politics with Australian children”, warning that his push to make the national curriculum more positive about the nation would not give students a full account of the past.
“History is meant to be an accurate reflection of the past and not everything that happens in the past is rosy and happy. He’s asking us to present something that’s just not true.“We want children to leave school being able to understand their past and understand where they’ve come from in all the complexity.”
“I put it to you that today, our society is the wealthiest, most liberal, most egalitarian and most tolerant society that has ever existed in all of humankind, anywhere in the world.” Military historian Peter Stanley, a professor at UNSW Canberra, said it was possible for students to form a positive view of Australia while teaching negative perspectives and accounts of key historical events.“Mr Tudge says Anzac Day is not a contested idea, but many people disagree, which means it is a contested idea,” Professor Stanley said. “Education means allowing people to make their own minds up. It doesn’t involve telling people what the answers are.

LisaVisentin katinacurtis History is taught in two parts Facts, dates/events Narrative, how the story ties together, applying critical thought Seems like this is an attempt to create a single narrative through selective use of facts and absence of critical thought Why?
LisaVisentin katinacurtis Our kids should not be taught only about the negative aspects of our history; nor should they hear just our white British version either. Kids aren’t dumb so they’ll cope with contradictions if they’re out in the open☝️

LisaVisentin katinacurtis There is no accurate history - but there are plenty of outright lies. Left/Progressives come to history with a stronger ideology than most historians of the past. The Progressives have become more like North Korea & Russia 1930s. Both 1984 & Brave New World have come to fruition.
LisaVisentin katinacurtis Shipping the dregs of a poverty stricken, filthy, diseased society to an ancient, utopian land occupied by an evolved noble warrior race then proceeding to slaughter them is nothing to be proud of. I LOVE this country. Let’s get REAL. And do better.
