School Wars 2: Attack of the Drones
New South Wales: The schools are embroiled in controversy again. This time, however, it's the DEET being complained about!
The Federal Government is outraged that schools are using children as young as five to distrubute "political propaganda" against the controversial WorkChoice Laws.
The material, prepared by the NSW Teachers' Federation entitled: 'A message from teachers to parents about your child's rights in the workplace' has been widely distributed before todays expected strike over their decreasing rights.
"This is the sort of stunt that is turning parents and students away from public schools," Nationals MP Melinda Pavey said, "First it's handing out political propaganga, then it's armed children political forces, then it's a new wave of terrorists. Instead the posh kids just make annacondas and work at their father's business. Model citizens."
Melida's son, Pompus Paveny Esquire the 22nd Junior of Hubriswich, known to his sole mate as Pompey and student at a GPS school reflected his mother's sentiments, "Oh yes of course! We'll all go smash the oinks! Hurrah! Hurrah!" Apparently this model citizen responds that way to any question.
Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews added, "This anti-WorkChoices pamphlet, which is being distributed to schools in NSW... is clearly inappropriate material to be given to children as young as in kingergarten or Grade 1."
When asked why the age of a student taking home a pamphlet for their parents should matter, Andrews replied, "Well...um... I guess there's a high propensity that their parents would be younger and more likely to strike. Or the kid could be a prodigy and we'll lose him to Labor."
Disgruntled parent Mary, mother of Josh 6, welcomes these changes, "I am so sick of the school handing out picture versions of the school news letter to parents of infants aged students. School carnivals are labelled, 'when the little hand is on the 8 and the big hand is on the 6 is running time!' It's insulting."
Ultimately on this day of shenanigans the one moment of sanity came from the Australian Education Union Secretary Allan Perrin, "Clearly, the inconvenience that's caused by a two-hour delay at a school is far less than the inconvenience caused when all the worker's rights have been changed in the workplace and their children won't have the protection that we have now."
