There must be no tolerance for racism in the AFL.

Agree so wholeheartedly it's not funny. Any reference to racism must be stamped out, it should be a level playing field - no special compensations, no differences no matter where you are from. If we are all to be treated equally, then we should all be treated equally - Aboriginal kids should get assistance due to being regionally located, not because of being Aboriginal.

contingent idiosyncrasies and political correctness are not enough reasons for the withdrawal of freedom of speech.Everything should be exposed to scrutiny, niches that experience oppresion will find their struggles justified as they will understand that institutional harrasment is a proof of their righteousness. Trying to impose constraints to public discourse only stagnates society, let the people regulate their own society, laissez-faire,the intolerance of intolerance is still intolerance.

Changing educational experience by personilising experience using AI and readily available technology would break the classical perception of what education in University is all about. Being a part of the development process of such system is such an excitement!

We are too flippant in our apology to the Aborigines.

We need to set kids up for a variety of situations, a variety of risks. But (with our concern about certain types of risk) are we doing this?

For as long as I've been involved in teaching science in high schools I've been hearing about a problem of students taking up science. Maybe we're not tackling the problem in the right way.

Children have the right to be exposed to all cultures and religious beliefs.

right to be exposed but also the right to be able to remove themself from it too

If children understand other cultures and religions, then greater individual and national understanding is more likely to develop within and across borders.
