The Voice Will Amplify Sorry White Guilt By James Reed
This story below is about preschool children who were, with no permission from parents, assigned to write “sorry” cards to Aboriginal groups, lamenting their white existence. At this age children are highly vulnerable, and such an assault of guilt is detrimental for their mental health. And, it is going on all around the country, as comments to the article indicate.
No point saying that the authorities should stop this, as the Voice, with its South African Truth commission will institutionalise white guilt pleadings. So, best thing is to fight hard now and destroy the Voice to deliver a message of resistance the New Class.
“Families of preschool students say they are outraged after their children were asked to make "sorry" cards to First Nations people apologising for the actions of colonisers.
2GB listener Kim told Chris O'Keefe that her four-year-old twin grandchildren had participated in a lesson of painting cards apologising to First Nations people on National Sorry Day earlier this year at their preschool in Sydney's south.
One card read: "Sorry for hurting you. Sorry for hurting your land."
The other read: "Sorry for hurting the Dharawal people. We will be kind now."
Kim said it was "woke with a capital W".
"It was just outrageous," she added.
"Interesting enough, there was nothing spoken about - they just came home with them.
"Their parents had to discuss Sorry Day with them."
She said her grandchildren were "very upset" and felt "very guilty".
"As a grandma, I said, 'You've done nothing wrong, it's all in the past, you have nothing to worry about, you're kind little children'," she said.
Kim said her son and daughter-in-law - the children's parents - weren't impressed by the lesson, saying it wasn't age-appropriate.
"I'm shocked. It's not for them to talk about these things," she added.
"I don't understand why we have to make our little children feel guilty for the sins of our fathers, there's just nothing they've done wrong."
Other 2GB listeners told O'Keefe their children had learned about the colonisation of Australia in school.
"My children attended a beautiful little preschool, both came home at different times saying they'd learned that 'white men came here and took away the Aboriginals' children'," a parent told O'Keefe.
"They chopped down all the trees and poisoned the waterways and then they asked me, 'Are all white men bad?'"
A First Nations family told O'Keefe their daughter was taught about the stolen generation in year one, before they could explain it to her.
"She had to learn it at a very young age because her great grandfather and grandmother were taken from their families which is a huge horrible concept to teach to her at any point," the family said to 2GB.
