Stop being pushed around. Use words as they are meant to be used, and force the PC idiots to prove you wrong. They can't do it and the law is on your side.

I am offended by Political Correctness.

You just need to be firm but tactful. Have a stated policy that your centre will recognise a variety religious celebrations so children become familiar with the range of cultures in their community. Make it clear that all religions are respected. Invite parents to become involved. Explain that Christmas is pretty much a secular event these days, and that Christmas trees, holly and tinsel have nothing at all to do with Christianity. Some years ago I helped children at our local school make hot cross buns before Easter. Knowing that there were some Muslim children I told them that while it was traditional to put a cross on top they could put their initials instead so they could identify their own bun. All of them did so except one - a Muslim boy - who wanted to follow tradition! He proudly took home his bun decorated with a cross with no repercussions.

Sati: By saying 'boy' and 'girl', we are excluding these children from each other and we need to use 'inclusive language' in order for people to feel included.

Yes, this is bloody ridicules.

Sati: Growing up in Australian Culture has made me who I am today, and I am proud of that fact.

Good on you mate. We need more of you & your family. Unfortunately there are others who refuse to assimilate. My heritage is Brit, Scot & Irish. I celebrate Paddys day on Paddys day for my Irish heritage & Burns day for the Scots, etc, but mostly I'm Australian. I expect others to celibate their own particular days as appropriate for their heritage as well & I will happily help them do that. This is a good thing. But to exclude Australian culture from their everyday life I feel is wrong.

The Christmas etc thing. This is a result of people who have been to Uni & done all the Social Courses & graduated. This is what they are taught then they implement it. Mostly I find that it is not the immigrants that are making the complaints. My immigrant friends, of various cultures, are as p!553d off are I am at these Directors, covering their @r553'5, attitudes. 'Baa Baa Black Sheep, of course is of the same ilk. Disgusting.

Sati: are we simply voicing out our opinion about the changes that are affecting our lifestyle?

Too right mate, & dammed If I give a 5tu## about what they think.

Sat1: we have to watch what we do in case we offend somebody.

Not me. Their attitude offends me & I tell them so in no uncertain terms. If they don't like it, 5t!## 5#!t.

Sati: What are your opinions on political correctness?

It offends me greatly. But I guess you could tell that.

Too right JayB.
This article could only have been written by a real Australian.
"Australianism" isn't defined by race alone, it's something that you have to be born into, the "Australian Way" has never been so narrowly defined by real Australians as it is by it's detractors.
We can't blame non White immigrants for Anglo Saxon political correctness because they have no role in forming it's doctrine, nor can we blame them for the cowardice of those centre operators and others with positions of influence who cave in the second someone raise their voice at them.
People will try all sorts of shenanigans if they think they their opponent in an argument is going to be a pushover and Political Correctness can only produce weak people who can't stand up for themselves, who have to rely on the law or the state to protect them.

Is any of this true?
I have seen such complaints as this and it is invariably untrue?
Lets have abit more evidence before we all go off half-cocked!
