I agree totally Lisa.

I note that the teacher(s) actually hand wrote
the wording in the cards, and the children were
simply told to draw (scribble in this case, as
most 4-year-olds understandably do) a heart
underneath.

To even suggest—by doing this—that these
little kids, who have little social awareness
and/or sense of justice, is tantamount to
indoctrination, or specifically imbuing them
with a biassed belief or point of view.

No teacher should be permitted to do this
sort of thing with any/all pre-secondary-aged
school children.

...and there was Ho Chi Minns just a few minutes ago lamenting the falling rates of literacy and numeracy and the reality that 7th Graders can't read at the level of a 4th grader while the comparative education standards for Australian kids fall through the toilet floor.

Nothing to do with teachers shoving ideology at kids instead of teaching, is it?

You can bet every 7th Grader knows all about gay marriage, global warming, transgenderism, Aboriginal victimhood, ethnic victimhood, 'entrenched racism and discrimination' ... and all the other bullshit....

To a limited extent, I agree Aussie.

But the point of this debate is primarily not
about that specifically, but about the age of
the pre-schoolers at 3-4 years, and the "right"
of their teachers to imply that they're all
responsible for the historic wrongs committed
against our Aboriginals, and the wrongs still
being committed today.

It's perfectly okay for thinking adults to express
their regrets/apologies etc, but not for little
children who're barely self-aware, let alone
aware of historical wrongs possibly committed
by their ancestors and/or family.

(BTW, you don't need personal
insults to make a point in any
debate.    It only weakens your
argument.)

Indeed they do.

And their writing skills are quite advanced   

If anyone believes those cards were made by preschoolers, I have a couple of bridges for sale that they might be interested in.

Nobody is making little children do anything (unless you're referring to the allegations against Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein).

Ohhh how funny is the faux outrage

Those kids would not have a clue about the whole thing, and will remeber zero, just like I remember zero of whatever the Sunday School teacher said when I was four.

Thyt got to make a drawing on a card with words on it, words they would not have a clue about.

Might have made the teachers feel warm and fuzzy but that's about it.

My comment about 'idiot' was not addressed to you.  It was addressed to an idiot.

FMD AUSSIE ... THE TODDLERS WERE APOLOGISING FOR SOMETHING THEY NEVER DID AND CAN’T UNDERSTAND!

That’s (emotional) child abuse!

And you missed that point entirely!
