Do we want a military invasion in Australian classrooms and universities?

Listen "Do we want a military invasion in Australian classrooms and universities?"

Episode Synopsis

Jennifer and Jacques talk about the blatant infiltration of military agendas in our education system, with resourcing from the federal government.     This is in the context of the de-funding of our universities, particularly many humanities departments and subjects that involve critical thinking. Most recently, the ‘culture wars’ have been reignited, as the government wants a white, imperialist triumphal version of history to be taught in schools, which garners support for future wars as well as the weapons industry.    Jacques and Jennifer propose that, as a nation, we would do better to resource social and environmental sustainability and public health, rather than weaponry and war mongering. Ref:Minors and missiles: Weapons companies in schools Activism:Australian Living Peace MuseumRaucous anti-AUKUS caucus - convened by Renegade Activists
