Once upon a time, children were sent to school to learn to read, write and master maths. Not any more. While parents still view the purpose of schooling as basic education, teachers and academics think they know better. Nowadays, children spend more time at school learning about 57 imaginary genders than they do the Three Rs. Schools have become re-education camps in leftist ideology.

Besides being subsumed by the Long March through the Institutions, education has also become almost completely feminised. 82% of primary school and 62% of high school teachers are female. The consequences of this gross gender imbalance are becoming clear: girls are staying at school longer and doing better, while the boys are disengaged and dropping out.

Don’t expect to hear our likewise female-dominated mainstream media: they’re too busy demanding that women be paid more for the equivalent work than men.

As for boys: their only option is to grovel and beg for mercy from the fishwives running the show.

Some parents of male students at a school in Australia are seething after their sons were forced to stand up in assembly and apologise to their female classmates on behalf of their gender.

Note that this is not because of any particular wrongdoing the boys in question had committed. They had to prostrate themselves for the simple crime of being male.

The incident happened at Brauer College, a senior school in Warrnambool, Victoria, on Wednesday. One parent, Danielle Shephard, who has a 12-year-old son at the school, told 7News her son was feeling confused after being told to apologise.

“He said that he was made to stand up and basically apologise … It wasn’t explained properly to the male students what they were doing or why they were doing it,” she said.

The news came after James Merlino, acting premier and education minister in the state of Victoria, announced that lessons about consent would become mandatory in state schools in Victoria from next month—in an expansion of the Victorian government’s “Respectful Relationships” program.

The consent classes were announced amid a national conversation about the sexual harassment of girls, sparked in part by multiple allegations of assault and harassment on campus from students at Wesley College, a top private school in Melbourne.

As one female journalist commented, reading the actual allegations, the “assault” and “harrassment” seemed to be nothing more than teenage girls getting shitfaced – often with their parents’ tacit approval – and then wondering why equally drunken boys put the hard word on them.

When the Respectful Relationships program began, it focused more generally on relationships, sexuality and safety.

This is arrant bullshit, of course. Respectful Relationships is just another name for the sort of Safe Schools radical gender theory garbage that parents vehemently rejected. Undeterred, the Marxist Queer Theorists in the education bureaucracy just changed the names to fool parents and regurgitated the same crap about penis tucking, breast-binding, and how to use dildoes and write sex personals.

Then, having hyper-sexualised generations of school children, the inquisitors humiliate one half of their students for being the wrong gender.

Brauer College organised the assembly about respect for women and girls, but parents weren’t told what form the discussion would take, 7News reported.

The school’s principal, Jane Boyle, told the network that while the assembly was “well-intended,” she recognised that the public apology was “inappropriate.”

Boyle said in a statement: “Schools play an important role in the promotion of safety and respect of all students, and discussions in schools around respect towards girls and women are a key part of this vital work.”

No, schools’ role is to make sure that students come out with functional literacy and mathematical ability. Something Australian schools are getting worse and worse at.

“As part of this discussion, boys were asked to stand as a symbolic gesture of apology for the behaviours of their gender that have hurt or offended girls and women […]

Boyle said the school would contact the parents to explain the reasons behind the assembly.

Perhaps someone ought to explain to this feminazi clown that collective punishment is a literal breach of human rights?

As for “explain the reason”, what she really means is that parents will be finger-wagged by some government-funded man-hater that they’re not bringing up their children “correctly”.

The only explanation needed here is for teachers and bureaucrats:
Only parents have the right to try and instil values in their children.

Jumped-up chalkies are the ones who need to be put in their place and made to apologise for Australia’s steadily-declining academic standards.
