Education Minister Alan Tudge says Australian children should learn about their Western heritage because they would be less likely to defend their “free, rich, egalitarian liberal democracy” if they do not understand it.
Education Minister Alan Tudge wants to put Australia among the top performing education countries by 2030.He foreshadowed more federal intervention in schools, saying he would use national funding agreements with the states to advance the Coalition’s education agenda when they expire in 2023. He outlined his priorities for education, which included addressing standards in university teacher training, embedding “effective teaching practices” in the curriculum, and ensuring a balanced approach to history and civics.
Mr Pearson also said Indigenous education would improve if governments made a commitment to lift all schools. Remote schools struggled to attract teachers and support, partly because state ministers left them in the “too hard basket”, Mr Pearson said.

This is the kind of nationalism China conditions to their people before sending them to another country (known as Australia). Great idea in a free, foundationally constitutional government, not such a good idea in a tyrannical, money business driven government.
Children should learn about respect…something long awol in our society today
That would be by teaching them history and yet his anti-intellectual Government then tries to destroy the humanities departments at universities. What he means is they need to learn the fairytale narrative he believes in.
here we go again 🤬🤬
This is not just more culture wars nonsense. There is a will to introduce American type evangelical universities in Australia. auspol
They love using the term “liberal democracy” even though it runs counter to their conservative view LNPspin ironic
To be clear, the west is admittedly more free and democratic despite the best efforts of the white, christian west to quash freedom and democracy. You can’t have it both ways.
Of course but the truth of colonialism must also be faced
Don’t need propaganda from LNP trying to rewrite history
Haha what does he mean Rich Democracy?
👏👏👏
To be fair - like most things - it’s right in front of your eyes - so well hidden. Just look at the military dictatorships to get your history lesson. Where love, peace and sharing end and fear and terror reign supreme.
Alan Tudge should learn about the concept of history.... moron
Yes. Have a whole subject on the foundation of the union movement, why it was needed along with all the benefits we enjoy today as a result (weekends, penalty rates, safe work places etc.) and how modern conservatives are trying to undo it for the benefit of wealthy donors.
Currently too many educators with marginal agendas with undue influence ?
Yes, because colonialism was all about liberating people for the sake of instituting democracy 🤷🏻♂️

DIGITALDECODED1 People you kidnapped from,their country !Enslaved ,massacred , slaughtered ,lynched, imposed inhumane barbaric savage crimes against ! Yeah privilege White racist bigoted fascist Autocrats teach black history , Native American history, people of color history ,not historical lies
They should also be educated on the FACTS that they owe EVERY PRIVILEGE to those of the NATIVE CULTURES AND HOW THEIR WESTERN CULTURES OBTAINED THIS LAND AND STILL THE NATIVES SUFFER THE WORST! ALLROUNDED EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR ANY & ALL APPRECIATION RESPECT healthy progress
The replies on here prove he is right.
Let the brain washing begin
Can Mr Tudge even spell the word civilisation? The Coalition culture war at its best.
Corruption, rorts, favouring vested interests over the people facing climate change, bigotry, covering up rapists in parliament... all a perversion of democracy and sounds like the sorts of things young people should know about to me.
Fuck me.
What part of the 'West' are they going to study? Nasty Spanish conquistadors? French revolutionary muderers? Nazi concentration camps? Roman methods of crucifixion? Spanish Inquisition? Scandinavian plunderers? British hang-draw- quartering? Lovely Western Civilization stuff!
Who is this dinosaur?
...and people wonder what's wrong with Australia. Our education minister encouraging brain washing. This s!t needs to stop!
I think children should learn to be decent and moral human being, not sexually abusing others and accepting responsibilities.
Free and rich = only for the elites and donors. Democracy = burned and buried by LNP corruption and rorting. Liberal = subjective and only fit as ur needs. Plz don’t let me start!!! Our education system is a mockery abd teachers and students left alone and u never in their sides
Oh another Abbott-IPA ning nong carrying on about 'western civilisation'.
Is his surname Tudge or Todger?
FO!
Fair enough.
Questionable rationale
I agree that children should learn about our colonising history, because they would be more likely to make reparation for the riches made at First Nations' expense, from our undemocratic takeover of unceded land.
Tudge is dog whistling. We may be having an election soon!
Yes, we have let the mad Left feminists and their male patsies dominate. Post modernism and its mate Cultural Marxism is at the core BUT they don't stand up to rigorous intellectual or real world scrutiny. These are the dopey people who train our teachers.
Another shout out to the white supremacists by the LNP, this time by an education minister who is in charge of no schools - thank doG.
Spot on!
The last person, I heard, said the similar thing is Trump.
I understand perfectly the education institutions don't teach reality. I'm poor, locked up , abused and have always been due to systems but I'm still free of mind, priceless and fight the abusive systems not just for me but for all.
He is correct
Umm, surprisingly I don’t see an issue with that.
What if they are not from the West like the majority of immigrants these days, Tudgey?
Embarrassing
