     My kinda speech,
     Zenaan

    ...

     First, this school will no longer honour race or ethnicity.  I could
     not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or
     white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin
     American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on
     the
     Endeavour or on slave ships.
     The only identity I care about, the only one this school will
     recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your
     scholarship, your humanity.
     And the only national identity this school will care about is
     Australia.

   ...

     Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native
     language.
     My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school
     speaking and writing English as fluently as possible.
     The English language has united Australia's citizens for over 200
     years, and it will unite us at this school.   It is one of the
     indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to
     be
     one country.  And if you leave this school without excellent English
     language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you
     will
     be prepared to successfully compete in the Australian job market.

   ...
   Racism and nationalism are two sides of the same coin. The Nazis were
   first and foremost nationalists. They tied race and religion into their
   national identity, but those were secondary to their notion of the
   German Nation. The fact that this person leaves out the race part and
   instead focuses on language doesn't make this speech any less fascist.
   The part about "individual identity" is absolute nonsense; what if your
   ethnic identity happens to be important to you? Too bad! This principal
   only cares about your "individual" identity if that individual happens
   to identify as Australian.
   I'm glad this is actually a hoax. I'm also glad that I'm not the only
   one pointing out the nationalist elephant in the room. There ARE
   legitimate problems with multiculturalism, but the real problem is when
   people refuse to acknowledge one another's identities, and instead try
   to erase them the way the fictitious principal in this speech does.
   When people stand along the street at Cinco de Mayo celebrations and
   wave American flags, as they did this year in a small town near where I
   live, what they're saying is "My own sense of identity is so weak that
   I can't handle other people expressing identities that are
   significantly different from mine." Those are the kind of people who
   vote for Hitlers. And Trumps. And Putins.
