Because.... there's no point posting this. I remembered later the statement was definitely not in the syllabus, because it was, after all, non-PC.
However, our teacher insisted on trying to convince the class of this, which did not succeed. then she let out that she was 'following the syllabus', which may be the notes to teachers in teaching the syllabus to kids (don't think we can get that). She said something like this: "Isn't it better if we follow what the syllabus is trying to teach, just for the sake of giong through it? I mean, I don't necessarily support this position, but I have to teach it to you, y'know?"
The proposed statement (as a satire) was: "students WILL recognise that there is no absolute truth." (emphasis mine)
We have a new english teacher that chatted to us about the new HSC teaching post-modernism (arguably a philoso-religious viewpoint) too, so it goes.
