The Bible deserves a place in the national curriculum

Kevin Donnelly

There's no doubt that religious sceptics want to take Christ out of Christmas. Primary schools ban nativity scenes and Christmas carols, and secular cards are now de rigueur instead of those with religious themes and icons.

Read the daily newspapers, listen to the radio or watch TV and one could be excused for thinking that the sole purpose of one of Christianity's holiest events, the birth of Christ, is to eat, drink and spend as much as possible on gifts and presents for family and friends.

Additional evidence that religious sceptics are seeking to undermine Christianity and the debt we owe to the nation's Judeo/Christian heritage is found in the fact that Christianity rarely rates a mention in the proposed national history curriculum and, when it is, it is simply described as one of the world's religions along side Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam.

The situation in Australia is unlike England where prime minister David Cameron and the education secretary Michael Gove argue that England is fundamentally a Christian nation and that every student, regardless of the type of school attended, must be familiar with the Bible.

Just before Christmas, Michael Gove announced a plan to send every school in England a copy of the King James Bible on the basis that the Bible is of, "major cultural and historical significance" and "one of the keystones of our shared culture".

Prime minister Cameron argues in a similar vein when he states,

First, the King James Bible has bequeathed a body of language that permeates every aspect of our culture and heritage. Second, just as our language and culture is steeped in the Bible, so too is our politics. Third, we are a Christian country.

Oh Jesus now she is rambling about Christmas, primary schools, the British Prime Minister, the Bible, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christmas Carols.

Numnut (n)This term is usually used to describe one of little intelligence or thought. It originates from the term numb nut meaning that ones nut, or head in this case, is numb i.e. the numnut has little to no activity in the head.

well I took a look veg that was enough for me..

I suggest that everyone angered by that offensive nonsense being allowed on the forum, along with all the offensive & inappropriate content which was deleted, but which Getup admin have inexplicably unflagged & reposted, against the wishes of many forum members, should email Getup at info@getup.org.au, & discuss@getup.org.au.

To tell Getup that they're hurting themselves & their members by doing this, & are by their actions, encouraging people to give up on the Getup website.

my my even the labor party forum is having its problems..well I never.

Since when has Tumut in NSW been anywhere near the Riverina district?

A woman has spent three days pinned under a car in NSW's Riverina region.

The 45-year-old crashed her car on Christmas Day, sending it plunging down an embankment off Wondalga Road, in Tumut.

Tumut is a town in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, situated on the banks of the Tumut River. Tumut is at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and is referred to as the gateway to the Snowy Mountains Scheme. Tumut Shire is administered from offices located in Tumut.

Well despite what Wiki says.....that'll come as a severe shock to the locals....
Since Tumbarumba is in the South-West Slopes, and Tumut is north and east of Tumbarumba...

You are and are even a bigger dope. You have quoted from a NSW education website where the state is broken up into regions. It has bugger all to do with the geographical naming of areas in the state.

What is it with old Queens when they won't admit they are wrong?

Stick to what you know which is...............not much of anything really.

Here's a thought. Maybe the reporter is an old Queen as well. You should check him out.
