'Aboriginalpeople should have many more rights and should be treated nicely they should bealso be a aboriginal voice to parliament [sic]'.
Senator Hanson said teachers should 'hang theirheads in shame' for psychologically burdening children with historical guilt.
'Under no circumstances shouldinnocent children bear the guilt of historical events, especially events thatoccurred long before they were even conceived. 'This is not education; it'semotional manipulation,' she argued.
'Whatlegacy are we leaving for future generations if we instil in them a sense ofguilt and shame for things they had no part in?

It comes after a mother on Thursday revealed how her daughterwas told by teachers at her school to 'go home and influence your parents tovote Yes' for the Indigenous Voiceto Parliament.
The Australian mum namedJulie told 2GB's Ben Fordham on Thursday that another of her daughters - she has two in a Catholic high school - was also upset that she had a political agenda pushed on her while she was at school trying to learn.
'I've got two children; one in middle high school, the other insenior. They are two strong young women, and I'm very proud of them,' Juliesaid.
Julie said while thedirective to speak about the Voice would have been 'from the top down' and shedid not blame teachers, she felt insulted her children were being used as acampaigning tool.
'My daughter at senior level had a retreat day where twoprominent staff members spoke to them about the Voice for about 10 or 15minutes,' she said.
'They were talking about the misinformation on social media andwith the No campaign and how it's really important we say Yes.
'They said go home and influence your parents and older siblingswho can vote to vote Yes.'
