If you’re happy and you know it, Silence! Australian school bans clapping. Why is Australia banning so many harmless things in schools?

Because clapping attracts wild kangaroos

Considering that modern-day Australia was founded by exported British criminals, maybe we're dealing the the early stages of a land down under version of Ingsoc.

Without a proper education how are they supposed to learn how to work audio equipment, pick locks and play the piano? https://youtu.be/r3HkUKoGoc4


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

Because Aussies like to ban fun things. Like guns.


Happily ETS'd.

Maybe there are a lot of veterans there with PTSD and the clapping triggers it?
This is the only semi-valid reason to do this.

I know that they banned guns. No need to have a debate on them, in this topic.

The fact that they put a ban on several video games is just weak.

The government didn't do this but I'm not surprised one of it's pos'd schools did.

That banned clapping, and other things in schools. Not sure why that would?

One school outlawed hugging and another prohibited singing Christmas carols. Australia, anything could be taken away next. At least, America is still the land of the free.

Whoa! No, no! No applause. Every time you clap your hands you kill thousands of spores that'll some day form a nutritious fungus. Just show your approval with a mould-friendly thumbs up!

Do you live in Australia? If so, your ass could be the next thing to get banned in schools.

A quote from the article.

“punch the air, pull excited faces and wriggle about on the spot,”

Yes children, instead of clapping your hands you should instead commence having a seizure induced mosh pit. Guarantee you, one kid gets hit or knocked over and that will be the end of that.

Australia wants all children to become mosh pit winners. lol Who knows what crazy things they will make children do next?

That sounds like radfem or SJW shit. There are in fact turds in this country who want "jazz hands" or snapping to replace clapping because it might "trigger" someone:

I don't get all this SJW crap. Granted, I'm a pretty liberal person, but I don't think making every last damn thing on the face of the earth PC is going to solve any problems. If anything, it'll make more.

I think this is some kind of knee jerk stupid rule made to prevent some mother of an autistic kid from suing for some random reason.

It's one of those things where I do think Australia is a pretty interesting place but making up some random law to prevent kids from doing something is more than likely going to make the kids want to do it more.

Well, I've rambled on for too long. Have a WWI Australian soldier holding a Koala.

Are those Australian terms? I figured they would have to write to the government or the Superintendent. I would do it, if I lived in the land down under.
