The questions Bolt and Tudge don't even want asked here in Australia are the same as their political guides don't want asked in the American education system. Questions other nations have faced and progressed because of.
Germany for one being a primary example. Strange isn't it that German Colonialism in Africa left behind a united and democratic legacy that few other colonists did. Tanzania remains a united example of the what other nations failed to do.
The question opponents of critical race theory don’t want us to ask is: How did the past affect the present? What parts of the ugly side of our history have we retained, even unintentionally? Understanding these lessons is the whole point of studying history. We do a disservice to our own history if we do not study all of it, in all of its complexity, in order to secure a better future.
