Rudd to scrap Howard's history

THE AGE - The Rudd Government is expected to scrap plans to force the states to introduce compulsory Australian history classes from next year.

In particular, they will be scrapping any mention of John Howard from the history books. Kind of similar to how he removed any mention to the stolen generation or land rights.

A spokeswoman for Julia Gillard, Minister For All The Major Stuff That Kevin Doesn't Have Time For Unless There's A Real Cock Up, has told The Age that although history would be a compulsory component of the national curriculum for parts of the secondary school years, the new Government would work collaboratively with states and territories, rather than impose things on them, unless of course they disagreed.

Kind of like how they propose to fix every other problem involving the states.
