I’m all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.

BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes “A, B, C, D…X, Y, zed or zee”. Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?

I’ll be picketing outside the ABC’s head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who’s with me?!

No /s, it is, no one says Gen Zed, or Jay Zed, XY Zee is just next in line, it’s all Zee’s and it makes sense why

At this point nobody is learning ‘English’, people are learning American because they watch American Movies, TV Shows, listen to American Music, eat American Food, play American Video Games, we watch literally millions of American Youtube and Tiktok Videos every day, we’re following American Influencers and Celebrities, with American Social Media Australians are following American Politics more closely than Australian Politics and frequently confusing the two, in addition we’re all addicted to the American Apps installed on American Operating Systems (all of them, Windows and MacOS and Android and IOS) on the American Smart Phones/Laptops/Desktops

The top most visited websites in Australia:

  1. American
  2. American
  3. American
  4. American
  5. American

The consequence of this is that we lose our culture, but as some French statesman said: why bother when everyone is enjoying everything?

Well tbf what you’re losing is the UK’s culture. Finding a balance of other stuff that works for you instead of clinging to tradition is how you build a culture of your own.

It’s fine. Outside of visiting the United States I never hear anyone say zee. Even the American guys at work say zed.

We explained to our 4 year old, when she was 2, why she might hear zee on tv. She gets it and goes “it’s zed!” when she hears those shows. This is a nothing problem.

Exactly what we did. Demonised the filth, before the infection could spread.

The Wiggles alphabet song says this too. Although that I get since they export to the states now. It might even introduce American kids to the Zed.

Playschool is unforgivable. That’s our national kids show and should be Australian.

A picket on the sidewalk is a great idea.
