‘History is history’: Chris backs the move to teach Indigenous history to our kids
Australian schools will begin teaching students about the history of war during the settlement of the country, and Chris O’Keefe reckon it’s a “bloody good idea”.
High schools in New South Wales will begin teaching Year 7 to Year 10 students about the Frontier Wars during colonisation, and O’Keefe believes it’s crucial for young Aussies to know the country’s true history.
“History is history – whether it fits into our current politics or worldview – it happened. So we must teach it to our kids because this is where the wrongs of the past will be righted”, Chris passionately told listeners.
