Yes, Maori petitioned the government around 100 years ago to have schools stop Maori kids speaking Maori at school because they wanted their kids to learn English!

Inserting an unchallenged questionable type of "science" and making it compulsory in so many courses is dumbing down learning. And is damaging the Auckland University's reputation as a world rated learning university. The emporer has no clothes but is reading Marx and Engels. And I wont be paying for my kids to go there.

The word itself (university) means universal… it’s not bound to a place’ - Rata. Actually the word ‘university’ is based on the latin universitas magistrotum which means community of scholars and teachers. A university is bound to a place because the research and development targets and benefits the country it is bound to. I studied IT there and met research fellows who are benefiting NZ’s IT sector.

The implication rata is making here is that only ideas that are universally applicable to all parts of the earth should be taught. That leaves us with very little to explore. The world is vast and diverse.

“Science is about being able to put something out & for the ability for it to be be challenged” - it’s not just a question of whether Matauranga Māori will challenge this - what about gender ideology that states that xx & xy chromosomes don’t determine if someone is male/female anymore? isn’t that more of a threat to science? this channel doesn’t acknowledge the problems that Pakeha are creating going against meritocracy & it’s not necessarily Māori pushing for all these changes but Pakeha themselves due to the influence of marxist ideology. These changes wouldn’t be happening if Pakeha weren’t at the forefront of pushing all this - do you really think brown people have any real power in this country? name a Polynesian prime minister?

What is your problem Michael do you just want pakeha history only. Māori is not important?? weren't we the first people here before the Europeans. We fought the British then a treaty was sign is that not our history
