Colleen Harkin: Keep Political Activism Out of Victorian Classrooms
Parliament has passed it. Every school, Prep to Year 12, now has to teach Australian history through the “activism” lens pushed by the Yoorrook Commission. 
Library books audited, teachers retrained, the whole curriculum rebuilt around grievance instead of facts. Colleen Harkin, a former classroom teacher, said it best: “this bill will see Australian history taught through the divisive prism of Aboriginal activism”. Teaching kids history through the eyes of “ideological activist Aboriginality,” not truth. Education should bring young Australians together as citizens, not train them from age five to view their own country through dispossession, grievance and division. One Nation says enough. Victorian kids deserve a classroom that unites them, not one that divides them before they’ve even finished primary school.
