\u201cLet parents be parents and children be children,\u201d South-Eastern Metropolitan MLC Ann-Marie Hermans (pictured) has told State Parliament.
\u201cMy constituency question is for the Minister for Education [Ben Carroll],\u201d said Ms Hermans.
\u201cMinister, can you please explain why your government is politicising our schools?
\u201cSchools should be places of education, not indoctrination, but under the Allan Labor Government that principle has been wiped off the whiteboard.
\u201cI recently received an email from a concerned parent \u2013 I will simply call the parent Andrew \u2013 regarding Labor\u2019s interference in his kid\u2019s primary school in Noble Park.
\u201cOver the last two years the school received a significant volume, a long string, of ministers, including the Premier, at their campus. \u201cSo it is no surprise that in their recent newsletter there was a Voice to Parliament item with a \u2018yes\u2019 symbol included and details about an inquiry unit which would deal with political issues about immigration.
\u201cMinister, get your ideology and political propaganda out of our classroom and let parents be parents and children be children,\u201d Ms Hermans said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
