This concerns Victoria, Australia. For clarity, Year 12 is the final year of High School here. Students typically spend Year 11 and 12 doing the VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) which is used to determine access to university and other higher education courses as well as serving as an equivalent of a High School Diploma in the US.

I'm a History teacher at a private school in Victoria - because my school is independent, we have a degree of protection from the worst excesses of the official curriculum but at VCE level, it's limited as it is designed as a consistent qualification for all students. I'm confident my students are well equipped to be handle propaganda - I work to make sure they are but as somebody who works very hard not to impose his own beliefs on his students, it really annoys me when the official bodies make repeated attempts to do so.

(HSC mentioned in the article is the Higher School Certificate which serves the same purpose as Victoria's VCE in the state of New South Wales).

The “progressives” have worked very aggressively to take over the education system.

They have been remarkably effective.

Hitler was a vegetarian who supported the arts and architecture. He lived with his girlfriend for years before they got married and only married her when they were ready to commit suicide. He stood for education reform and got one of the leading thinkers in Germany (Martin Heidegger) to help with the process. Hitler promoted a close relationship between unions and the government. He believed in gun control. He believed in organic farming. He was pro-abortion. He sought to replace Christianity with a more native religion. He wanted to kill Jews.

How are any of things not progressive?

Hitler was put into power with serious amounts of cash from capitalists, European aristocrats and high ranking military who saw him as a counterattack on Russian bolshevism. (Anthony Sutton “Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler”). To take the line that Hitler was a socialist is a transparent attempt by historic revisionist with Nazi sympathies to keep conservatism safe for oligarhical control elements. Hitler was a fascist with a socialist label only, put there to gain the support of the Weimar German working class. As a fascist, he aligned with Mussolini and Franco, both of whom evolved into anti-communist dictators with the support of globalists who controlled conservatism as a route to a financier oligarch one world government. The political party lines blur at that altitude. Today you have globalists working on two seemingly opposite fronts to enact their global dictatorship- Left globalists using “climate change” to achieve a world government via the UN and Right globalists using the power of their financial empires to enact nation destroying trade treaties such as TPP.

Berthold Brecht was a communist lickspittle.
