Response

Today, I got a response on my letter to the principal, on facebook. The response was not from Mrs Prime, but a man I am friends with on the profilic website. The man said to me; "To claim you are experiencing inequality as a result of Aboriginal students' free attendance at the formal is far from open-minded.

How am I expected to keep an open mind if there is blatant favoritism being thrown in front of me?

Cultural and lingual preservation is vital and the only way that can be achieved is if educational institutions, trade industries and governments maintain social I cousins policies and procedures.

Exceptions are made under guidance of the educational system to encourage the participation and attendance of Aboriginal an Torres Strait Islanders.

So ... People in extreme financial difficulty are not helped to encourage participation, but Aboriginal students, on top of their $450 a fortnight, recieve free formal tickets, school uniforms, and even extremely cheap driving lessons. That's NOT social inclusion, that's social isolation.

I'm sorry, but if I'm declared racist because I find it unfair that people that struggle for money receive little or no help from the schools and government. If a non-aboriginal person doesn't look for work whilst on the dole, their payments are cut off. If an aboriginal person doesn't look for work, they are still given money to buy goon sacks.

How is that fair?
