A leading education expert says state schools need to introduce religious studies, [religious bondage], in their curriculum's to help address the current lack of values in education.
But is it the current lack of values in education or the current lack of values in the Prime Minister that's the problem?
Emeritus Professor Brian Hill from Perth's Murdoch University is delivering a keynote address to the Australian Council for Educational Research conference today in Adelaide.
Professor Hill says religious studies in state schools would be a step toward acknowledging the main source of value traditions that have shaped Australian culture.
"We need to appreciate that no one religion can be privileged in the state school today, but children need the opportunity to study the religious traditions that have had major influence on the society they're living in," he said.
What religious traditions have had a major influence on the society we live in? How many religions is that? How many children were raped and molested by the church?
How about real values, social skills, ethics, morality? What religion is that?
How about John Howard what religion is that? Lies and war crimes against humanity. So who is leading by the worst example?
Now you want to give children some other form of belief opposed to John Howard? Then why is that "rodent type" leading the country? And what has religion got to do with it?
Professor Hill has also attacked church schools for failing to update their religious subjects to keep them relevant to newer generations of students.
He says teachers; students and parents in both the public and private sectors must work together to prioritise educational values in their schools.
"There are gaps in the present curriculum in the study of values and ethics, certainly a gap in the study of religious education which is very chancy and patchy across the nation," he said.
"Some do it well, most don't do it well and these are things which should be regarded as part of the process of curriculum development."

THE EMPIRE OF "THE CITY" (World Superstate) part 2
But Western Australia's Education Minister, Alan Carpenter, has dismissed the concerns.
Mr Carpenter says he finds the comments offensive.
"It's a ridiculous beat-up by someone I've never heard of and I wonder how long it's been since the person has been inside a state school," he said.
"Morals, ethics, values are embedded in everything that's taught at schools and if Professor Hill doesn't know that then it amazes me that he describes himself as a professor of education."
TEACHER: What Professor Hill needs to do is Vote 1 The Greens next Federal Election.
STUDENT: How long is that?
