Michael Laws > "This is very possibly the most important interview in the history of The Platform because the exposure of the sabotage or intended sabotage of the government's educational objectives by senior public servants within the Ministry of Education, as contained in the 'Education and Training Amendment Bill number two'....."

Assuming that this doesn’t reflect government policy (doubtful), everyone in the Ministry of Education (except clerical staff) should be sacked forthwith and be replaced with new people with an interest in education rather than indoctrination. This would not only direct the focus of education to learning but also provide a salutary lesson to other bureaucrats ignoring government directives.
Heaven help us . This is appalling . Home schooling is now the only sensible choice for those who don't wish their children to indoctrinated into what many would consider a cult. Withdraw your kid from school as a protest . There is a strong homeschooling movement , which started in the 1980s . Get together with other parents to share supervision of your children .
Michael, as a teacher, I have the same concerns. What mystifies me is how the coalition government is letting so much of this stuff through. They need to nail their true colours to the mast so we can shift our political support accordingly. I think National is divided on the treaty, as comments by its former leaders indicate. We have been duped for long enough. It seems their strategy is to divert attention by taking about the cost of living thus avoiding the growing racialization of NZ and its public service. And you are right, we are seeing the emergence of a new state religion. Do they not know anything about history?
National is divided.There is a strong element sympathetic to the Maori victim and ,,progressive,, narratives ...a version of the Teals in Oz but on different issues. Lose their votes and there is a thumping change of govt as they will drift to Labour. National is trying to be all things to as many as possible to retain votes or see its support from the UK Lib Dems equivalent element break off to Labour. National is not a conservative party.
This may seem a little harsh but I can't believe how naive some New Zealanders are. People are only reading what they want to read and believing what they want to believe. Erica Stanford has always been very woke. She could just as easily be in the Labour Party. I am sure she wants Education to succeed but she also supports the Maorification agenda. No doubt Dr. Rata has given her some great advice but Erica is probably just cherry picking the bits she wants and discarding the rest with absolutely(as Dr Rata says) no idea where the rest will lead to. This is not the National Party that many grew up with and voted for. That is the only reason many of us keep plugging for ACT and NZF.
How on earth do such bills come to be floated? Do all mps assume somemone with more time and experience has vetted? If passed this bill will frighten from the taeching profession all objective types, the persons most likely to be good at maths and science, and already woefully lacking. Local tikanga, te ao, matauranga is not written down and will not be, so objective teachers no matter how able, cannot read up on and become knowledgeable.They will have to listen to or abdicate to hours of time wasting undefined rambling brain wash propogandised , politicised, waffle.
Want to "point fingers at.." then point them in the direction of [current] Minister of Education. Sorry a person who does not impress me with her demeanor towards the process of Government and her 'rule of the Ministry of Education'.
