Wow, Windshuffle couldn't win the clash of ideas, so the views of politicians are going to be directly imposed, and Historians told by the Liberal party what to teach! 8^o
That is, those who have, out of a lifelong interest, learnt about our history, and represent a number of different views about it, only come of which please the Politicians who want to impose their views on your children.
All those parents who have been to schools and seen what is taught know Gallipoli and Anzac day have always been taught.. but what will be taught when Howard decides the school curriculumon on political grounds, rather than the views of experts?
After History is White Eyepatched, will we get Creationism in science?

"There is a fundamental distinction between multicultural and Multiculturalism, which racists constantly and deliberately confuse.
A society is multicultural if it has more than one culture being practised within that society.
'Multicultural - A society which embraces a number of minority cultures' - Macquarie Dictionary
Multiculturalism is two things, the -ISM indicates that it is a set of beliefs or ideas about multiculture, ie a recognition of multicultural REALITY, an acceptance of it, a celebration of it. But it is ALSO a set of government policies to formalize that recognition, acceptance and celebration! Thus the Howard government has a Department which documents the positive economic social and foreign policy benefits from having a successful, open, democratic multicultural society."
