Note the bit where I said 'both for and against'? Your arguments would be more convincing if they didn't rely on obvious falsehoods.

This is a piece about the American comedian Jon Stewart and it talks about his literature teacher in high school being a big influence. Why? Because the teacher was giving instruction on 'some of the politically incorrect books' which questioned existing power paradigms.

Slater would likely have had the teacher fired.

SR,

I know that you and other left whinger snowflakes consider complaining your preserve, however, not everyone that makes a complaint is a snowflake.

That Salter raised concerns that his child's English teacher was neglecting her duty to teach English which considering Aus's declining PISA ratings is a genuine concern, and called for politics to include diverse opinions which is exactly the opposite of what left whinge snowflakes are calling for. (because snowflakes can't bear dissenting opinions to be aired)

P.S. unlike left whinge snowflake Salter did not call for the offending teacher to be sacked.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Nope.

Slater wanted a 'safe place' for his kid to learn a sanitised version of English studies. Indeed he proposed home schooling where “I would be able to filter out or soften its most damaging elements”.

I will remind you of what you wrote;

“Sorry to interrupt your snowflake whinge as I know that you would prefer class rooms to be a safe space for left whinge ideology and not interrupted by nasty counter opinions and facts.”

Perhaps you had better have a chat with Slater so the two of you can determine what you are having a whinge about.

Further you claim; “That Salter raised concerns that his child's English teacher was neglecting her duty to teach English”.

No he wasn't. Where did you glean this from?

You are a literary ignoramus, I never claimed to be quoting Animal farm exactly and unlike you actually read both animal farm and 1984. What else could one expect from a bigot that can't even spell.

Hi Albert12,

Welcome to the forum, you have done a cut and paste of a Shadow Minister's literary masterpiece. I note it contains a number of basic errors, "Animal farm", should read Animal Farm, Farm being a proper noun, SM remember a capital letter for proper nouns that's basic. I don't claim to be the genius of all subjects that Shadow will tell you he is. Not only is he an Engineer, he'll also claim to be a man of legal letter, a medical expert, political guru....where does he find the time? When it comes to literature Shadow might tell you he has read every book ever published, and some that were not, including those hard for us to understand foreign language jobs in Latin or some such lingo. Shadow has read every book there ever was, from Tolstoy's 'War and Peace', to the 'Sydney Phone Directory', all from cover to cover. Where does he find the time?
