Australians Don’t Want Critical Race Theory in Classrooms
Most Australians do not support the presence of Identity Politics in classrooms, a poll reveals, as concerns grow the newly proposed national curriculum will inject critical race theory into schools.
The Critical Race Theory Poll (pdf), commissioned by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), asked 1121 Australians four questions and found 82 percent disagree with the statement that students should be forced to apologise for their skin colour.
Around 86 percent also disagree that schools should make boys feel ashamed of being male, and 69 percent do not think schools should be teaching children that Australia is a racist country.
