Why Michael McLaren thinks everyone should study history
Michael McLaren has revealed why he thinks every high school student should study history during their HSC.
His comments come after he read a Guardian Essential poll which suggested to him young voters don’t know what various governments have tried.
“If it were [compulsory to study], I’m convinced we’d have a smarter electorate and in particular, a greater cohort of voters that’d be educated about some of the mistakes in the past,” he said.
