Shock: leftist teachers allow debate

RWDB and spotter-of-cancer-jokes-where-none exist, Tim Blair, has a tale to tell of our Maoist-dominated education system:
Niece Amy is now at a fancy private school, having followed family tradition by scoring (in my case, scamming) a scholarship. First challenge at the big new place: debating.
Topic: Should the Prime Minister have apologised to the stolen generation(s)?Amy’s team were (sic) assigned the negative case. They won.
I don’t have time to give Timbo advice on the use of singular and plural subjunctives, I’m too much in shock that those red flag-waving Phrygian cap-wearing Che-loving bastard teachers permitted debate about such a contentious topic - and not only that, the negative team won! What the hell is the world coming to? Surely indoctrination is the name of the game, not the development of skillz and tolerance of debate. And who was the freakin’ judge, Wilson Tuckey?
Some future debate topics for leftist teachers to prevent a recurrence of this ugly tolerance-of-views rubbish:
1. John Howard should be castrated with barbed wire, not disembowelled.
2. Is George W. Bush Satan or the Antichrist? Discuss.
3. Debating is counter-revolutionary dissent and you will be shot if you disagree. Do you agree?
