EDUCATION AND THE CURRICULUM
This does not have to be an either/or proposition
These fears echo John Howard’s early attempts to have a “more balanced” school curriculum emphasising the positive impacts of settlers. He also stated that he did not believe in a “black armband” view of history and that as less than 50 per cent of Aboriginal children had been taken away from their families, there was no basis for talking about a “stolen generation” or related apologies.
