Teachers at a Melbourne TAFE have been suspended after a Muslim student pointed out 'inappropriate' material in lecture notes, including a quote from a high profile anti-Islam activist.

When Melbourne TAFE student Tayeba Quddus logged on to check her upcoming class materials, she was 'shocked' to discover a presentation suggesting up to 300 million Muslims are “radicals who want to destroy and murder”.

"I think the wider issue here is the normalisation of portraying Muslims as extremists - it’s the fact that there isn’t a lot of sensitivity for Muslim students in class and screening whether content would or would not be offensive," she said. “We have called the complainant to acknowledge their concerns and issued an unreserved apology for the offence caused,” it said in a statement.Right-wing extremism has a long history in Australia

“Furthermore, Holmesglen is using this incident as a catalyst to further review its professional development in diversity, cultural safety, and competency with the Institute’s educators.”Ms Faraone added: “We welcome the opportunity to receive feedback, to assess it, and to act upon it in order to improve processes.

So telling the truth is now called ‘inappropriate’ material? Why do Muslims get upset of what it’s believe represents and their teachings speaks off. Instead of correcting your own scholars in teaching the wrong story, u attack people that challenge this!!

What bollocks.

I mean look at the numbers. Muslim people commit the vast majority of terror attacks. it's not horrible to admit it. men commit a majority of violent crime but I won't call you a misandrist for acknowledging it.

Really!? Can we not get too far left with this issue.

JazzaBazza_ Why do Muslims like to snitch so much? I thought they are supposed to be tough.

Lol bake the jihad cake deviants

Ad hominem aside, the actual content in the presentation's video contained accurate, reliable and cited facts holmesglen Edu_Holmesglen

Video in question:

On the one hand, open-minded and moderate Muslims accept criticisms on Terrorism and Radicalism which happen to involve Islamic Terrorists if the suspects and allegiations are proven

this is one of the reasons why not many want to be a teacher anymore

Great. Now we can suspend lecturers who spit all over Christianity in public. The next teacher who states that Christianity encourages pedophilia should be suspended. Can’t wait to see the Marxist lectures marching out of the institution.

Should’ve been given a promotion .

So what.

Whatever happened to provoking discussions and critical thinking

And ACTBrigitte experienced the radical Islam first hand, should we discount her experience?

Are the numbers quoted on the slide accurate or not? If they're accurate I don't see what's inappropriate. If not, that's lazy research on the teachers' part. Either way, why is this news? Could it not have been resolved without involving the media? You know, like grown ups.

They should be sacked ... a teacher should know

So the truth of the matter is irrelevant, what is relevant is that her poor feelings are butthurt? If it's true it's not the teachers' fault that this student is Muslim and can't bear the truth. So fess up SBS - what are the facts here? I'm betting you know.

no different to teaching Hitler and quoting his work. oh wait now we cannot have that can we!

Excellent. Racism and bigotry should have consequences.

Wikipedia may be a useful tool, but using it as a source for serious education is a little fraught.

Well I think Bridget Gabriel would know. Decide for yourself:

Im noticing how the emphasis of this article is on the label 'high profile anti-Islam activist', not whether the statement is true or not.

🤡

One complains, they move the earth! Anyone else complains, it’s, what’s your problem!

So it begins
