The outrage must be getting to me; I'll try again with the basic summary.

The pupils at the (State run) primary school were just singing songs out of the song book published by the (Commonwealth Govt run) ABC. One of the songs was the Sorry Song; see explanation of background above. A parent took offence that their offspring were being ideologically brainwashed and protested to the school's principal, who promptly banned any singing of this song at the school. An MP in the State parliament (and from one of the Coalition parties above but, thankfully, in Opposition at State level) has supported the principal's stand in the terms ("ideologically brainwashing") I mentioned and is recommending wider banning.

There is a simialr Sorry Song by Bruce Watson thet will come up on Google but the one by Kerry Fletcher (and I don't have the words) is the one being banned. Hopefully the ABC radio news will have a specific item on it that is available as a podcast.

Yours, Rowan
