Great post. I'm really encouraged by the petition against the compulsory WTR courses at Auckland University. The petition sponsors are keen to avoid accusations of racism by saying it is a good idea to be taught about the Treaty but the courses are poorly taught etc.
In fact a lot of students are probably bridling at the obvious political bias — and the irrelevance of the material for their studies.
You’re not alone. Many of us are disgusted. Thanks Rex!

More inflammatory but just as important.
I'm tangata; wear the kauae. The racism from TPM and the grifterpigs of JT's empire disgust me.
