LD as I've said a number of times already, I didn't think it fair that tax payers pay for a bomb proof wall for one school when we are supposed to be lightening our belts etc. as I have already said now that I see that it was given in govt grants to a number of schools, I see it differently

Is that OK with you?

No it is NOT allright with me as your initial comments were cruel and thoughtless and you saw vulnerable children as fair game to take a swipe at Jewish children who had been terrorised on their way from school.

You said that Jews could fund their own protection. I have avoided adding any connotation on what you meant by your comments to avoid any hostility.

Now as you are completely backing away from your original stance then I think I'll leave it at that.

That's what you said LD..... lol.

Well you'd better get over it then as my comments were nothing of the sort.

Here's what you said:

I believe that if Jewish schools want bomb protection that they could probably fund it themselves.

What about our own kids in public schools, who is going to give them protection from bombs?

& yes, I am happier for my taxes to go to those who really need help

Makes perfect sense to me, nothing sinister about Debra's comments, some need to stop haraguing her for what they read into it.

Particularly as I thought it was for only one school Julia & for a specific purpose.

the govt gives grants to schools yearly doesn't it?

---

these grants are for specific purposes

and are non-recurrent

[debra9275]

As a one off grant ( granted in. 2012) to a number of schools, that makes it a fair thing Imo

Think I already said that someway back when someone posted a link to the grants

[kilroy_is_here]

Unfortunately your post did come across to me as anti Semitic with the singling out of the fact that it was Jewish school and the the use of what about our kids

[debra9275]

sorry, but I thought the tax payer money went to only one school (Jewish) and I though that was a bit rascist

[kilroy_is_here]

What think is far more disturbing than 1 school getting funding or even 10 schools of different denominations or religions getting funding is the fact that any schools need funding against bombing , it is far past being un Australian that it it is a little dot in the rear vision mirror

I think it was using the word Jewish School, rather than Private School that caused the problem, Deb .It was like waving a  red rag in front of a bull to some posters - they  became so fixated on that one word that they failed to understand the point you were really making.
