	Description:		How much has really changed when it comes to what Australian kids are taught about Aboriginal people? In the 1950s Indigenous academic and activist Marcia Langton was taught that Aboriginal people - her people - were thieves and murderers who were expected to die out. She ended up being expelled for walking out of class after her teacher told a racist joke. In 2019, Aboriginal culture and history is in the curriculum, but it's still possible to get all the way through school with the topic barely coming up. So how can that happen? And what's being done to change it?
