There are always going to be those that will wish to divide us as a nation, a particular group of school teachers have been a great example of late.

I agree.

Maybe you should attend a dawn service instead of trying to sully the occasion. I've just spent two weeks organising a very large ANZAC dawn service and there's none of what you are trying to pollute the solemnity, recognition and gratitude for the brave and resilient who made life more than bearable for us and others. I wonder at why so many who are insistent on tearing down all that is good for the sake of egotistical big noting.

I agree. My post was just a comment on our Multicultural Society which means over time our values will likely change as will the majority's perception of history which for many will be based on outcomes; not set in the values of times past.
