Activist teachers smuggle alternate anthem into school.

People are right to be outraged that Melbourne primary school children have been taught to sing an Indigenous-themed anthem rather than the national anthem.

Yarraville West Primary School staff — who evidently know better than anyone else in the country — have smuggled their own woked-up version of the anthem into children’s minds.

They’ve had the kids singing it for the past six months, and now parents are complaining that their children don’t know the actual Australian anthem — which does rather seem to be exactly what the school intended.

Why can’t teachers teach rather than use their trusted position to conduct social engineering experiments — betraying parents, children and their profession in the process?

Indoctrination

The alternative anthem has the same music, but different lyrics.

It begins:

“Australia, celebrate as one, with peace and harmony.”

So unoriginal!

They couldn’t even think of a new tune, or even a new name for Australia!

I love the way these activist teachers purport to “celebrate as one with peace and harmony” while dividing these school children from the rest of the country.

As always, those constantly banging on about reconciliation are the most divisive.

The lyrics go on:

“Our precious water, soil and sun, grant life for you and me.”

Since when does water, or soil for that matter, “grant life”? Are we worshipping creation now?

Well, actually, yes. Because the lyrics continue:

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts to love, respect and share;
And honouring the Dreaming, advance Australia fair;

These same activists would be outraged if anyone attempted to lead children in the Lord’s Prayer. But they do love Aboriginal spirituality!

Insidious

It all sounds so nice:

Australia, let us stand as one, upon this sacred land;
A new day dawns, we’re moving on to trust and understand

Sacred land? What does that mean? I thought we were all about the separation of church and state.

As for “moving on to trust”, you don’t move on to trust by deceiving parents who mistakenly trusted that their children were receiving an education rather than a progressive mind massage.

When contacted by The Herald Sun, an Education Department spokesperson said they were:

“Working with Yarraville West Primary School’s leadership team to ensure the appropriate use of the national anthem in school events.”

Working with the leadership team to find new jobs outside education, I hope.

I jest. They’ll be slapped over the wrist with a feather and then given a big hug and told to keep at it.

Honestly, our country is in so much trouble. Why would the Chinese bother to invade when we are already so busy hollowing out ourselves?
