A failed education system is one that teaches kids that: 1. Captain Cook was an invader. There were only 93 people onboard the Endeavour, including scientists & arborists. If a small ship with 93 people onboard was able to invade Australia it speaks very poorly of the local population who couldn't defend themselves against the "invaders". Fact is Captain Cook was an explorer, not an invader. Also, the chances of a successful expedition from England to Australia in the late 1700's was less than 1%. On a small wooden boat, Cook had to negotiate some of the world's most treacherous seas & major oceans (Atlantic, Indian & Great Southern Ocean) in an era of no modern communications, no refrigeration, no modern medicine & strong likelihood of a mutiny at sea. 2. The end of the world is imminent due to climate change caused by the human use of fossil fuels. Fact is despite the billions of tonnes of CO2 emissions over many decades, carbon dioxide still only accounts for 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere, a number that hasn't changed in centuries. 3. Australis is a racist country. Fact is 32% of Australia's population is made up of migrants, one of the highest in the world. Indians & Chinese now make up 2 million of Australia's 28 million people. Who exactly are the racists? Australian Chinese? Australian Indians? Australian Italians? Australian Greeks? Australian Lebanese? 4. They live on stolen land. Fact is every country on earth has been colonised at some point in their history. Also, if the Spanish or French had colonised Australia history tells us the indigenous population would have been wiped out. Fact is, Australia is a highly developed nation with a high standard of living thanks to those who have moved here since 1788. As I say, Australia's education system is failing our kids by teaching them ideologically driven, factually incorrect nonsense.
