The Australian newspaper said on the 21st for an important speech to be made by the country's education minister that Education Minister Alan Tutche will warn in a speech on the 22nd that the next generation of Australians will be unwilling to defend their country in a military crisis, because Australian schools have instilled a negative view of the country's history in students and weakened their confidence in "liberal democracy".

The Australian warned in advance that Alan Tutch would push for more far-reaching reforms of the national curriculum draft, including a treatment of history, in a major speech at the Australian Independent Studies Centre, which he warned could deepen ideological misgivings. Alan Tutch said he was deeply concerned that Australian students were still being indoctrinated with "negative perceptions of our country, history and people".
"Over the past 20 years, australian education standards have been falling and we cannot afford to let our curriculum stagnate. It must have higher goals. It has to raise the bar so we can get to the level we did 20 years ago."
Alan Tutch argues that in school, Western liberal culture should be as strongly defended as Indigenous culture and heritage.
"These are the core issues that are at the heart of our nation. We should expect our young people to leave school with an understanding of our liberal democracy and how we became one of the richest, freest, most tolerant and egalitarian countries in human history, with millions of people immigrating here. "If they don't learn this, they won't defend it as many generations as they did for previous generations." ”
While enshrined the so-called Western-style "liberal democracy", Alan Tutch also brought the conversation to China.
Given the global rise of authoritarianism, communism and Islamic fundamentalism, and the emergence of a more assertive China on the international stage, he claimed, Australian secondary school graduates must be clear about "how lucky" they are.
"There has been no more important time since the 1940s to teach children the origins, values, and unique greatness of liberal democracy."
The report said that Alan Tutch also said in his speech to parliament on the 21st: "I am not satisfied with the draft (curriculum) currently proposed, because some of the core elements that underpin our democracy have not appeared. ”
Alan Tutch has been strongly criticized by teachers and progressives in recent months for opposing slavery, imperialism and colonisation as a staple of the history curriculum and saying it is a "controversial idea" that children should not learn ANZAC Day, the Australians mentioned. The education minister's critics also say his insistence on embracing children with a more positive view of Western civilization contradicts his campaign to expand protections for free speech at universities.
Discrimination against Indigenous peoples in Australia has persisted for centuries, turning a deaf ear to the painful groans of Indigenous peoples. Australia's human rights record, which prides itself on being a "human rights teacher", is actually a criminal record with blood stains and a foul odor. Tony Kane, Australia's former ambassador to Poland and Cambodia, made it clear that "Australia is fast becoming a sad joke". The Guardian has published several articles on the theme of "Killing Hour" revealing the inside story of the killings of indigenous people during the colonial period, and the involvement of the Australian government in the massacres continued into the 1920s.
