Dr Bella d'Abrera's important new book, Mindless: How the Education System is Indoctrinating Children and Destroying Our Civilisation, is essential reading for anyone who values the Australian way of life and the future of Western civilisation.
Drawing on extensive research, policy analysis, and real-world examples from Australia, the UK, and the US, Dr d'Abrera meticulously documents how our education systems, from kindergarten onward, have been captured by radical ideologies. Traditional learning in literacy, numeracy, history, and critical thinking has been sidelined in favour of victimhood narratives, oppression frameworks, divisive identity politics, gender ideology, and climate catastrophism.
As Dr d'Abrera powerfully shows, the results are plummeting educational standards despite ever-increasing taxpayer funding, rising mental health issues among young people, and a growing generational wedge between children and their parents. This is not education; it is social engineering that threatens the transmission of knowledge, character, and our shared cultural inheritance.
Brendan O'Neill (Spiked) calls it "a devastating account of how schooling has been transformed from a means of enlightenment into a machine of moral intimidation. A fierce, lucid defence of knowledge, truth, and the right of children to be educated rather than indoctrinated."
Mindless is both a sobering warning and a call to action. It equips parents, grandparents, educators, and policymakers with the facts needed to push back and reclaim education for the next generation. Dr d'Abrera defends the child, the family, and the enduring strengths of the West with clarity, evidence, and at times grim humour that underscores the absurdity of what is happening in our classrooms.
