#1 Australian National Anthem should ban Islamic College, then.

Newton's Law III: "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Let's see how long they can play the game.

#3 Somebody reported that the Australian National Anthem is even harder to sing properly than "The Star Spangled Banner." It was the winner of a national contest, and I suspect the judges were all academics. An Australian official supposedly said, in announcing the anthem, "All right, everybody--wince!"

Does anyone have a link to the anthem, so we can judge for ourselves?

#4 AHA! there it is, right in front of me in Besoeker's post, where I couldn't miss it. I'll blame that on blurry bifocals.

So either I misremembered the story, or else it was the stodginess of the lyrics that caused the official to wince.

In any case, what we have here is a failure to assimilate. The line "Religion should not be used as a reason to protest the school" is particularly rich under the circumstances.

#6 Moslem schools is one thing.
American public schools are getting tentative about such things (the Pledge, ex) as well.
But the public schools have no excuse.

#7 It's the damn cross on the flag. Soon to be replaced by a crescent. Second post from top has link to anthem. Sweetness-light has a story on GB school first canceling, then postponing Christmas pageant so the bloody and cruel EID ~~holiday~~, rather, UNHOLYday, could be "celebrated" by the little Muzzie students. Gives them practice butchering infidels, and breaks down barriers to murder in childhood. The moslems won't stop until they're forced to stop. "Woe to those who withhold the sword from whom it is due . . . " didn't someone kind of important say that? Just wondering.
