“Modern educayshun” really is doing a disservice to young Australians. Not only is it making them dumber – Australia’s international education rankings have steadily slid further and further behind, despite spending billions more – but it’s making them frightened and confused, too.

Creepy indoctrination programs like “Safe Schools” and “Mates and Dates” fill kids’ heads with dodgy Queer Theory nonsense. Green ideologue teachers terrify their students with unscientific nonsense about a looming “climate apocalypse”.

Now they’re teaching girls to be afraid of boys.

Last week’s demise of the White Ribbon charity is good news for schoolboys across Australia. For years now, White Ribbon has been out in our schools forcing little boys to renounce their violence. White Ribbon days talked not only about physical violence but males were also called out for emotional abuse. What a joke. Girls are renowned for ganging up on other girls, defriending and bullying each other in the most vicious way. Yet they watched on bewildered by White Ribbon’s public shaming of the boys.

The bias against boys is so blatant that even the ultra-PC ABC has taken notice.

“We mustn’t make boys feel bad about being boys,” wrote ABC journalist Elizabeth Jackson on The Drum website way back in 2014, commenting on her children’s reaction to White Ribbon day in their school. It shows the widespread concern about White Ribbon propaganda if ABC journalists were prepared to give voice.

But even without White Ribbon, the boy-bashing is destined to continue.

The entire education system is hopelessly biased against boys. Teaching is dominated almost to the exclusion of men by women. Even though girls’ academic performance long ago outpaced boys’, girls are still targeted with a plethora of special initiatives and extra funding. Meanwhile, boys’ normal play is demonised, classed as “violence”, and increasingly excluded and medicated.

But now we have documented proof of this anti-male bias, in the form of a Master’s thesis from a South Australian teacher, Christopher Vogel, who has just finished his Masters thesis showing his state’s school curriculum is systematically teaching children that males are the abusers with females as their innocent victims.

Christopher analyzed Keeping Safe, the mandatory child protection curriculum taught in all public schools in SA from kindergarten to year 12 […] His research reveals systemic bias against boys.

The curriculum provides 84 examples of males being aggressive to females (including child rape and abuse) and only one instance of a female aggressing against a male (looking in his room without permission) […]

While boys are at least as likely as girls to be victims of abuse, the narrative focuses almost entirely on girls. This bias pervades the media as well: despite boys and men making up by far the majority of suicides, media stories on the subject almost always lead with a fetchingly dramatic picture of a girl.

It wasn’t so long ago that our society realised, to our shame, that we’d failed victims of sexual abuse by choosing not to hear their stories. But now we have an entire school curriculum which deliberately ignores male victims of abuse, denying their experiences and making them reluctant to seek help […] It’s just one example of the dangerous grip of feminist ideology on our institutions, including school curriculums.
