Absolutely nobody in any school in Australia is or ever will be taught CRT. This whole story is rubbish.

@arknabul2760 What!!!!!!!. It is a social theory. It is not a thing. Yes racism is a real thing, that doesn't mean CRT is correct.

@arknabul2760 All this is, is white supremacists scare mongering.

@arknabul2760 Are you suggesting racism doesn't exsist? white supremacists always deny being white supremacists. It is because they are cowards by nature.
1
@arknabul2760 Are you doubting the existence of white supremacy? Acknowledging racism exists doesn’t valid CRT.

@arknabul2760 I'm not sure how expressing a personal opinion and suggesting racism exists is gaslighting. I certainly didn't suggest you personally are a racist, if you took it that way well that's on you.

@PJRayment Read the National curriculum and quote for me the reference where CRT is taught as a fact. I mean this is so simple to disprove it beyond stupid that you believe it is being taught in Australian schools.

@PJRayment Your clownish attempts of shifting the burden of proof relating to a negative claim once again show your inability to understand argumentation. Arguments from ignorance and slippery slope fallacies are your stock in trade. You are just fear mongering or are just truly a frightened little man.

@PJRayment Unlike you and your intellectual laziness and inability to read the national curriculum, I just went into the Ethics Centre website and read the article I believe you are referring to and yes they clearly are supportive of CRT, but you are confusing historical fact and racist attitudes of the past being taught in history classes as CRT. CRT and historical facts are two separate issues. Yes as part of the national curriculum historical fact and racist behaviour is taught during Australian history lessons as this is just fact. CRT however as a theory is most definitely not taught anywhere on any primary or secondary school. It may however be discussed and be included in some Universities in some subjects.

@PJRayment No you are factually wrong. A negative claim has no burden of proof, as there is no reference to CRT in the national curriculum, but you can't be bothered to read it. If you are unable to read and understand the national curriculum I'm sorry for you but that's not my fault. As explained the article about CRT on the Ethics Centre website does not support your opinion at all that CRT is being taught in primary and/or secondary schools only that historical fact is being taught. Teaching historical fact is not teaching CRT. You may not like the fact that there were elements of racism in Australia's past and you may prefer that nobody know about it and it be hidden, I can't fathom why you would other than to hide some abhorrent behaviour by your christian mates, I on the other hand have nothing to be ashamed of, historical fact is historical fact. Once again I reference the National curriculum years 1 to 12 in the Humanities and any other subject and there is not a single reference to CRT.

@PJRayment This is all I can find on Indigenous culture in the national curriculum. “Humanities and Social Sciences is the primary learning area in which students explore and deepen their knowledge of Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the world’s oldest continuous living cultures and First Nations Peoples of Australia. This learning area provides students with the opportunity to understand the histories of Australian First Nations Peoples, which involve occupation of the Australian continent for more than 60,000 years. Students understand the enduring impacts of colonisation on Australian First Nations Peoples’ cultures and impact of the doctrine of terra nullius on ownership of and access to Country/Place. Importantly, this learning area includes the significant contributions of Australian First Nations Peoples’ histories and cultures on a local, national, regional and global scale. Students appreciate and celebrate the diversity of Australian First Nations Peoples’ cultures. They understand how these cultures are based on special connections to Country/Place, and have unique belief systems and ways of being, knowing, thinking and doing linked to these physical and spiritual interconnections. The development of these understandings includes exploring contemporary issues that demonstrate the dynamic nature of Australian First Nations Peoples’ cultures. This learning area develops students’ knowledge of citizenship that positions First Nations Australians as the Traditional Owners of Country/Place and highlights how native title law recognises Australian First Nations Peoples’ rights and interests. Students examine the sophisticated social organisation systems, protocols, kinship structures, economies and enterprises of First Nations Australians. To study this learning area, students use primary and secondary sources, including oral histories and traditional, culturally appropriate sources to see events through multiple perspectives. This allows them to empathise and ethically consider the investigation, preservation and conservation of sites of significance to First Nations Australians.” This is not CRT this is just learning about indigenous culture.
