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?

Indi’s Ilse

Sophie Mirabella, the Liberal Party’s own jackboot jenny (pictured above at her wedding, along with the rest of the Munsters) is copping some heat from her own constituents in Indi, who aren’t happy at her boycott of Kevin Rudd’s apology to the ’stolen generations’. Today several hundred of them gathered in Wangaratta to offer their own ’sorry’, since their own local MP thinks it’s all just a bit of a big fib. The placards lampooning ‘Sieg Heil Sophe’ weren’t kind; her affection for applying lipstick with a hose seemed to attract particular attention, as did her lack of connection with her electorate (before moving to Indi, St Cath’s girl Sophie probably thought “the bush” was Studley Park or Eltham).

One geriatric supporter of Sophie rushed to her defence on Seven News:

“Did Hitler apologise? Did Germany apologise to the Jews for the Holocaust?!?”

Yes, several times actually.
