Like the best satire, Neel Kolhatkar’s Modern Educayshun cuts uncomfortably close to the truth. Modern “educayshun” is a wasteland of falling educational standards and out-of-control leftist indoctrination. The latter, of course, is directly responsible for the former. Which is the point: if Johnny can’t read, he can’t think.
And that’s just how the Long Marchers want it.
The Long March through the Institutions is the Marxist strategy formulated in the 1960s by Rudi Dutschke and Herbert Marcuse, explicitly intended to overthrow capitalist democracy by infiltrating the professions, the public service and public institutions. Education has been its most spectacularly successful front of attack.
It’s clear that there is a concerted campaign by LGBTI advocates to force their radical agenda on schools.
And those enforcing a cultural left agenda on students, like La Trobe University’s Roz Ward, responsible for the Safe Schools program, make no secret of the ideology underpinning their long march through the education system.
Anyone who is still in denial about the leftist takeover of the education system is simply not paying attention. These doctrinaire zealots aren’t even bothering to hide what they’re up to.
In a speech at the 2015 Marxism Conference, Ward argues, “LGBTI oppression and heteronormativity are woven into the fabric of capitalism” and “it will only be through a revitalised class struggle and revolutionary change that we can hope for the liberation of LGBTI people”.
In the same speech, titled The Role Of The Left For LGBTI Rights, Ward goes on to argue “Marxism offers both the hope and the strategy needed to create a world where human sexuality, gender and how we relate to our bodies can blossom in extraordinary new and amazing ways that we can only try to imagine today”.
This is absolute bollocks on stilts. Naturally, it’s promoted by socialist state governments like Victoria. These apparatchiks are brainwashing your children and looting your taxes to do it.
And it’s been happening for years.
As detailed in my 2004 book Why Our Schools Are Failing, cultural-left academics, the Australian Education Union and the Australian Association for the Teachers of English are long-term advocates of the LGBTI agenda.
The 1995 AATE journal is dedicated to promoting a cultural-left view of gender and sexuality […]The AEU’s 2001 policy argues that either/or categories like male and female are not natural or normal and that “all curriculum must be written in non-heterosexist language”.
The AEU’s policy goes on to argue that any discussion about LGBTI issues must “be positive in its approach” and “homosexuality and bisexuality need to normalised”.
Ignored is that according to one of the largest national surveys of Australians, about 98 per cent self-identify as heterosexual and babies, with the odd exception, are born with either male or female chromosomes.
It’s pointless, quoting statistical data at leftist teachers: Most of them are just too stupid to understand them. Enrolment standards for teaching students are even more dismal than school results. Teachers routinely fail even the basic maths that their own students are supposed to be able to understand. Science and maths are rapidly declining in our schools.
And it shows.
Fast forward to the NSW’s Teachers Federation’s LGBTI policies and it’s clear little has changed. The Federation supports the Safe Schools program and anyone arguing for the primacy of male/female relationships is guilty of “heterosexism”.
Anyone committed to the belief there are two genders is guilty of promoting “fear and hatred of lesbians and gay men” and the belief “other types of sexualities or gender identities are unhealthy, unnatural and a threat to society”.

Too many teachers are doctrinaire thickheads, who refuse to accept that they’re not the moral guardians of society and that it’s not their place to impose their radical beliefs on impressionable children.
The urgency for a root-and-branch cleanout of the education system, from the universities and bureaucracies down, becomes clearer every day.
