No, not that I recall. I've only heard about it being discussed in an objective manner.

Who is maintaining this "status quo" according to you? The media? The monarchs?

Society as a whole maintains it. As long as not enough people object strenuously enough, it simply doesn’t get discussed and continues on the way it is - that’s pretty much the definition of status quo, “the existing state of affairs”.

I doubt that. What’s an example? Objectively, the existence of a monarchy is opposed to the ideals of an egalitarian society. Any discussion of a monarchy’s mere existence without covering such topics serves to reinforce the status quo - it normalizes its existence and lies by omission about its negative impacts.

In Australia I don't really hearing much of an anti-monarchy argument in school, but also not a pro-monarchy argument either. There was just a statement of fact about the monarchy that we live in.

Have you hear pro-caulk arguments in class? Caulk at least might have some relevance to those kids lives, the vestigial monarchy has none.
