How do you know this Greg?

How do you know they didn't?

He asked you first.

There was no mention in the article that teachers had pre-written the cards.

There's no proof that the children were handed cards with the "Sorry" message already on them, which is the original claim Wink

I have highlighted your claim for you Greg. Can you back it up?

Were you lying again? Do you think it is OK to make up these lies because we are talking about Aborigines?

Greg? Why did you make it up?

Make it up?

Not at all.

I heard it from an anonymous caller on talk-back radio here in Perth.

I'm in a Facebook group with one of the girlfriends of the teacher involved. She said they wrote them all out for the kids to decorate on a Saturday night over a few bottle of Pinot Grigio.

The teacher would've written the 12 or 20 or
whatever cards in advance with a few different
catchphrases and then simply handed one out
to each child with a request that they draw a heart
under the text and colour it in.

Ultimately though, it's of no concern as to whether
the text or the heart was added first—the "message"
is the same.

And I'm sure, on the day, the teacher would've
said something along these lines as they started
the exercise:

"Today children, we're going to make cards in order
to say how sorry we are that our Aboriginal people
have been treated so terribly by bad white people.
And we'll each draw a heart to show them we love
them. We can take them home and show Mummy
or Daddy too. I'll help you by writing some big
words that will say sorry".

Hysterical nonsense.

They were created to commemorate Sorry Day. Most people manage to convey the spirit of that without the Sky 'news'-worthy hyperbole.

Not o9n here of course, most most other places in the actual world.

What history are they being taught Mothra?

Methra has turned up drugged out as per usual to post utter crap AND copy my own posts ffs!

No history has been taught here!

It’s pure unadulterated emotional blackmail and manipulation of toddlers who need to be educated in going to the toilet without peeing and pooping in their pull up/nappies.

Apologising for what you have evidently not done makes you a fraud. Anyone accepting such an apology makes them a fraud, too.

Anyone making little children apologise for something they haven't done and do not understand is a monstrous****ing fraud and should not be let near any classroom.

None of us know for sure what happened.

All we know for sure is that this click-bait has worked very well.

Is it true that Ronald Spiers shot a group of German prisoners?

Guy told me about it!

Yeah - but did this guy SEE it?

Well, no.. he heard if from a guy who said it happened...

How come it's always some guy knows a guy who says it happened, but nobody ever saw it??
