(For Bricktop) Nine year old "attacked" after refusing to stand for Australian anthem because it's for 'white people'

A nine-year-old schoolgirl sparked intense debate in Australia on Wednesday after refusing to stand for the national anthem to protest alleged institutional racism.



Student Harper Nielsen was given detention last week for not joining classmates in a rendition of  Advance Australia Fair, a song she says ignores the nation's indigenous people.



"When it was originally written, Advance Australia Fair meant advance the white people of Australia," she told national broadcaster ABC after the incident was reported by local media on Wednesday.



"When it says 'we are young' it completely disregards the Indigenous Australians who were here before us."



Aboriginal culture stretches back tens of thousands of years before the British began colonising Australia in the late 1700s.



They remain among the most disadvantaged Australians, with higher rates of poverty, ill-health and imprisonment than any other community.



Harper said she arrived at the decision to protest herself, but had discussed the issue with her parents. (I bet)



"She's shown incredible bravery in wanting to stick to what she believes in... and I couldn't be more proud of her," Harper's father Mark Nielsen told the ABC.



Harper was trying to "raise awareness and get people thinking about institutionalised racism... and how that might feel to people who these kinds of things affect", he added.



The school's principal had met with Harper and her parents to discuss alternatives to her protest, the Queensland state education department said.



"The school has been respectful of the student's wishes and has provided other alternatives including remaining outside the hall or not singing during the national anthem," a spokesperson said in a statement.



Harper's stance on the anthem, with echoes of the kneeling protests of NFL players in the United States, irked Australia's most prominent conservative figures.



Former Wallabies rugby coach turned radio shock jock Alan Jones suggested her parents be told to leave the school if they disagreed with "the rules".



Australian politician Pauline Hanson, who has made a career of leaping on such controversial issues, labelled Harper "a brat", before taking aim at the parents for encouraging "divisive" behaviour.



"Here we have a kid that has been brainwashed and I tell you what, I would give her a kick up the backside," the 64-year-old said in a video posted to Facebook.

He was wrong about the kick up the backside, but the rest was spot on.



This is a perfect example of how the cancer of leftism spreads.  Someone might think its mostly an American problem (Hi Brick :wink:) and then, guess what? some prog brainwashed kid sees American NFL kneelers and imitates it in Australia. And then more of the cancer of leftism spreads.

the progs know to indoctrinate their young (and other people children as well) just like Islamists indoctrinate their young.  Just like the nazis had the Hitler youth.  if you brainwash kids from an early age to embrace extremism it is more likely to take hold.

Some assholes should be forbidden from breeding.



These parents are in that category.



But the worst part of this story is this guy is a University teacher that does not confine his Marxism to his family.

I had a feeling this young girl's parents were not poor.

Dunno about Australia.  But in America University professors are some of the worst progtards of all.  Most of the articles I post about hatred of whites are from University professors or they are about something a University professor did.



I wonder if this Aussie professor ever tried to find an aborigine and give them his job?  I bet not.

Same here, same everywhere.



The left has penetrated tertiary education at an alarming level. Not only are many educators leftists, but they are freely using the education system as their platform to spread Marxist idealism.



Just as it was in the 1960's, universities have become Marxist training camps.

That, and our ABC (government funded media centre to those uninitiated). They not only opine about man made climate change denial, pharmaceutical experiment criticism, illegal immigration criticism elsewhere around the world, and free market capitalism without heavy handed government intervention, they actually pipe in BBC program excerpts very regularly and the German socialist equivalent, DW, which is an English based BBC Germanic hand job agent for Western leftist media agency clients.
Blahhhhhh...

BBC, CBC, ABC...  All seem to have the same agenda...  Good thing they're fully taxpayer funded entities, or the Liberal Arts grads would be unemployed, as opposed to having a cushy job with cushy benefits and cushy pension.  Females need only apply.  The Non-Whiter, the better...  Injun is good.

My daughter will be attending a secular university next year..



I am curious what kind of indoctrination she will encounter.....though she won't be in a liberal arts program.

She'll probably be told that she can't attend any inclusion event because she's half caucasian and or half asian.
Blahhhhhh...

You look so young for having a daughter that age.
