Bugger the Schools & Bugger ERO
"Bugger the teachers, bugger the
schools and bugger ERO," said Peter
Osborne, the
Libertarianz Spokesman to Deregulate Education today, in
response to a PPTA press release calling for ERO to get
off the backs of
teachers and schools.
"Teachers and
schools deserve all the flak they get while they continue to
ignore the obvious. They are just as consequentially
ignorant as the poor
kids they teach, as they haven't
the wit to acknowledge that state enforced
education IS
the problem."
Osborne says, "For once though, I have to
agree with the PPTA; ERO should
bugger off. They are
driven by their own self-serving agenda and that of
politicians who make decisions for political reasons and
the health of the
education sector be damned."
He
says, "None of these groups will acknowledge that entrenched
welfarism
and a hopeless state enforced education system
is the foundation beneath
growing problems of youth
violence, drug abuse, sexual abuse and gang
involvement.
They force their ideas onto our children and their stunted
minds have reduced education to a stagnant, uninspiring
monument to
mediocrity. Yet the same questions continue
to surface. Why are kids going
truant? Why is depression
so prevalent among our youth? Why are children
becoming
more violent? The answer is because parents no longer have
the
freedom to determine the education for their own
children; the state does.
Also no one has the freedom to
express their own benevolence; the state
does it for
them. Hence beneficiaries do not have to face those who
subsidise their existence and they now see the benefit
as a natural right.
These problems have been created by
a state that has distorted
responsibilities and
reality."
Mr Osborne concludes, "Libertarianz fully
understands the disastrous
implications of an all
encompassing Nanny State, as we have now. We won't
rest
until the Ministry of Education is completely eliminated and
compulsory welfarism is scrapped. Parents will be handed
back the
responsibility of determining their own
children's education. The education
sector will be
released from the agenda of politicians and bureaucrats to
pursue a meaningful and ever evolving teaching process.
Institutionalised
welfarism will also be scrapped to
allow those who truly wish to help
people to do so, from
their own benevolence. Zero tax will allow people to
pursue all of the choices that we are denied today by
those who think they
know
better."
