Not anymore. It all has to fit a Socialist, PC agenda or you'll fail your Course or if you're an academic get the sack.
Cherful: That's just a form of re-writing history because it doesn't suit the narrative some people prefer.
Exactly. I had a conversation recently with an Academic at James Cook. He told me that he has to go along with the current Political Guidelines of the Uni or he would lose his tenure. He's in Aboriginal Studies or something. I questioned his claim of aboriginal only being here 40000 years as opposed to earlier studies which say 80000 years & he said, " I have to agree with 40000 years as that is the current agreement with the Aboriginal Communities."
Well there ya go.
