Instead of concentrating on knowledge, literacy, numeracy, science, history and civics, schools are being used to shape children's beliefs about race, climate, identity, sexuality, inequality and social justice. Children are being turned into barely literate social justice warriors. And this ideological conditioning starts before children can even read.

Political, radical and activist ideology is embedded throughout early childhood and the education system, across all year levels and within ordinary lessons, all disguised as education. The most disturbing part is how early it begins, how effectively it is embedded and how relentless it is. There are three main areas of activism threaded throughout a child’s education: a grievance-based version of Australian and Aboriginal history, climate alarmism, and radical gender theories disguised as respect.

The Australian Government’s Belonging, Being & Becoming framework gives early childhood education a “critical role” in advancing Reconciliation in Australia. It requires Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives to be embedded in early childhood to contribute to the advancement of Reconciliation. It also makes sustainability a formal principle and gives children an “active role” in creating and promoting sustainable communities.

Children in nappies are being enlisted into an ongoing political and social project. This is not the work of one radical teacher acting alone. This is clearly stated in the national framework document that governs the sector.

When they arrive at school, five-year olds are made to trace their little hand and color in the word ‘sorry’ for the stolen children. Parents have reported their children crying at night, frightened that they too might be taken from their families, asking whether the stolen children are coming back, or worried that their own homes might be taken because they are on “stolen land”.

The Australian Curriculum introduces very young children to concepts of gender and sexual identity, while state programs have taken the message even further. In Victoria, children as young as five have been taught that their bodies may not align with their gender. This is presented under the disguise of respect.

But this is not teaching children to be kind to one another. It is introducing very young children to radical contested ideas about sex and identity – frequently without parents even knowing. Climate alarmism is omnipresent.

Ten-year-olds believe there will soon be insufficient oxygen and that their lives are in imminent danger. Children are bombarded with messages of crisis and catastrophe and taught that they are responsible for fixing the problem. They are encouraged to become “change agents”, write to politicians, and participate in activism.

But that is political mobilisation, not education. Burdened with the woes of the world on their young shoulders, intergenerational oppressor guilt, and gender confusion before they are old enough to understand any of it, it is hardly surprising children become paralysed by fear, anxiety and despair. There is no need to put “political indoctrination” on the school timetable.

It is already there hidden inside the worksheet, or classroom activity. Children are not political projects, campaigners or foot soldiers. They are children.

The purpose of education is not to manufacture activists or “change agents”. It is to give young Australians the knowledge and intellectual freedom to think for themselves. That is the education One Nation will fight to restore.
