Racism and religious bigotry is rife and the division in society is being actively contributed to by the Abbott Government.

Racism and bigotry like Spurr’s is a cancer eating at the core of Australian society, tearing us apart from within — and will only get worse while our Government tries to whitewash our history and heritage.  Barry Spurr — an advocate for the removal of Indigenous literature from the curriculum in the interests of promoting the Judeo-Christian literature because, after all, that is our “culture”.

Sydney University has, quite rightly, suspended Mr Spurr while an investigation is undertaken.Christopher Pyne’s education review remains implicitly supported by the education minister — who refuses to reconsider Spurr’s review of the English curriculum and, indeed, explicitly supports his reviewer’s stance on the supremacy of Australia’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

Government is whitewashing the curriculum and focussing solely on the Indigenous culture as a fixture in history rather than a living, breathing, developing cultural reality.

In short, it is clear that the Government supports the underlying bigotry and white supremacist views of Barry Spurr. It seeks to repudiate history by rewriting and sanitising the atrocities committed against the Indigenous people in order to maintain their covert policy of assimilation and covert racism.

The Government is asking you to be vigilant (read: fearful) of terrorism, whilst instructing the media to release images of citizens that prescribe to the Islamic faith; it is asking us to get on board with “Team Australia” — meaning assimilate to the Judeo-Christian ‘culture’.
