Once again our current govt shows it’s disdain for Maōri and te Tiriti.

      I called her sick because she wants to deny students books with maori words in them because her child has a learning disability.

      I never said kids with disabilities of any kind should be excluded from any kapa haka group or anything else, she made that accusation out of the blue.

        And look in your defence, they DID have a clumsily worded anecdote that was only tangentially related (and it took AGES to reveal the additional challenge these books created for their kid, was what they were getting at - I understand that).

        I guess what I’m getting at is: attack their point - not the personality.

        Needless to say, I’m over it…
