![]() ![]() By the time elders had drilled it back in, years after I left university, I began using the greatest research tools of all: curiosity and doubt. When I was told at school that Aboriginal people were wanderers and the most backward people on Earth, I was ashamed rather than rebellious. We need our children to consider the orthodoxy of the world, and examine it for its merit. We need our children to care about the planet like those who have saved the whales for the enjoyment and reassurance of all. If we don’t encourage them to demonstrate or protest, then we need to instil the wisest of all our skills in our children: doubt. We need our children to rebel – not necessarily by chanting platitudes or yelling into megaphones, although the whales were saved by such methods. ![]()
