rod mclaughlinThe Liberal Assault On Our Culture Reaches Australia (03 sep 10)
Soon, they are going to need a political-correctness-proof fence across Australia. FIRST, the great Rolf Harris was forced, by jackbooted commisars, to change the words of his song 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport'. NEXT, the government APOLOGISED to the aborigines, like it owed them an apology or something. NOW, this once proud, manly, shamelessly Saxon country has given yet more leverage to the pc brigade, who originated in the colleges of California, inspired by French intellectuals who smoke Gauloises, shrug their shoulders, and discuss Foucault, Sontag and Genet. It has changed the words to the song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" because it contains the word 'gay', and children giggle when they hear it. Rather than have to lecture eight-year olds on how it's OK to be gay - as happens in San Francisco schools - teachers changed the words. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/02/australian-school-gay-kookaburra-song In Berkeley, California, the school district barred teachers from telling kids about the scientific evidence that the Indians arrived in North America about 14,000 years ago, because Native American myths disagree. Some teachers have stopped using 'Huckleberry Finn' because it contains the n-word, despite the scene where Huck says he'd rather go to hell than send his black friend back to slavery. That's not good enough for the thought police - give them an inch and they'll ask for another pound of flesh. You won't be able to say that soon if they have their way, because it's from a certain Shakespeare play...
