Wow read an article in ABC News and it rang big alarm bells. Is the Abbott government going to move away from a Secular State to when where a religion is going to be pushed down peoples throats. Im a Catholic but I dont expect anyone else to have to share my beliefs. In fact not even the Pope would expect that. Now we have this from ABC news:
" National curriculum needs more religion, says education reviewer
There should be more religious education in Australian schools, says one of the men tasked with reviewing the national curriculum.
Former teacher and ex-Liberal Party staffer Kevin Donnelly says Australian education has become too secular, and the federation's Judeo-Christian heritage should be better reflected in the curriculum.
The review was announced yesterday by Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne, after concerns the curriculum had become too left-leaning and was failing students.
"When you look at Parliaments around Australia - they all begin with the Lord's prayer. If you look at our constitution, the preamble is about God," Mr Donnelly said.
"You can't airbrush that from history - it has to be recognised."
