NSW Police Minister David Elliott has revealed there is “no doubt” government-paid school teachers are deliberately radicalising children against the police force.
State Education Minister Lisa Mitchell ordered a review into a New South Wales primary school after it was found to be promoting anti-police propaganda to its students, including Black Lives Matter slogans.
“We know there is an element in the teaching fraternity that wants to turn the kids in their care into radicals,” Minister Elliott said.
“Two years in as the police minister, I’ve seen it time and time again and I have to call it out now. It would be immoral for me to sit and not speak out on behalf of the police family.
“I note that the principal has apologised and the offending posters will come down but unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated case.”
Mr Elliott said he wanted a commitment from the Department of Education it wouldn’t happen again and if any parents had concerns about teachers radicalising their children, it should be brought into the public domain.
