Lushington D. Brady: Get ’Em Woke While They’re Young

Childcare centre makes tots apologise for being white

In a stunning scene from Fred Schepisi’s The Devil’s Playground, a priest delivers a terrifying sermon on the torments of hell. The priest is played by author Thomas Keneally, who would later talk of his “feeling of outrage that at the age of seven we were lumbered with the neurosis of the confessional”.

These days, though, Keneally is a signed-up member of a new religion that is hell-bent (pardon the pun) on burdening even the youngest children with the “neurosis of the confessional”.

Alan Jones: Alarmist rubbish’ is tragically destroying Young People...

Greta Thunberg and those who “condone her alarmist nonsense” are tragically destroying young people, according to Sky News host Alan Jones. “We have learned that vulnerable students have fallen through the cracks over coronavirus,” he said. “We have been told that schools don't have a proper review process to prevent - a frightening term - suicide clusters. “Young people are constantly comparing themselves to others on social media and suffering mental health problems as a result.”

Michael Bassett: Labour's History Curriculum

Ever since Jacinda Ardern announced that history would become a core subject in schools, Ministry of Education officials have spent millions of dollars devising a curriculum. They got advice from a very narrow range of the woke and well-meaning, and some serious barrow-pushers. They then seem to have sought a fig-leaf of respectability by asking for approval from the once highly reputable Royal Society of New Zealand. 

The results of all this were published yesterday. A finer assemblage of mumbo-jumbo it would be hard to find. A careful reader examining the underlying intention behind it all will conclude it is to re-name the country Aotearoa, eventually dropping any mention of New Zealand, making Te Reo compulsory for everyone, and handing control of the country’s identity and intellectual life to the Maori Council.

NZCPR Weekly: Shaping Impressionable Minds

Dear NZCPR Reader,   

This week we investigate how the Government is allowing school children to be indoctrinated with political propaganda, our NZCPR Guest Commentator Barry Brill, a former Energy Minister and the Chairman of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, has examined the Government’s new climate change resource for 11 to 14 year old children and reveals that it is designed to teach climate activism instead of science, and our poll asks whether you believe our Education Act should protect children from political indoctrination.

Sterling Burnett: Alarmist Educators Pressure Children into Fear, Depression

No one is discussing a horrible case of mass child abuse I read about nearly every day. Among the most perverse and dangerous consequences of the “climate delusion” being hyped almost daily by the fake news mass media is the havoc it is wreaking on the health and psychological well-being of children of all ages.

As anyone who has suffered or studied spousal and child abuse knows, physical harm is not the only way people can be abused. Fear, despair, and rage instilled by words is a form of abuse that can cause just as much long-term damage as beatings, cigarette burns, or other forms of physical torture.
