The cultural left has ‘taken control’ amid proposed changes to national curriculum

ACU Senior Research Fellow Dr Kevin Donnelly says the cultural left has “taken control” with the new proposed changes to the Australian school curriculum.

The proposed changes come following a review ordered by the Morrison government in 2020.

The changes have caused a “stir”, including the “elevation of Indigenous studies” across a number of subjects and the removal of the study of Ancient Rome and Greece from the Year 7 history syllabus, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.

Dr Donnelly told Ms Credlin there currently seems to be “a lack of understanding” and an “unwillingness” to get involved in the battle of ideas from both Labor and Liberal governments.

“The reality is the cultural left – as I call it, they’ve taken control – the long march – and Liberal so-called conservative governments need to get a backbone,” he said.
