What a wonderful woman Elizabeth Rata is 👏🏻💛
We ignore her plea's at our peril!! 💀
FYI. Peters says that his 'god is raining down his vengeance on us because we are sinners' with this storm in other comment's on this site. In Peters world you would be learning the bible not any actual facts. He would want to punish your children for not proforming under that rule. Isn't that correct Peter?
@@roilhead no Kezza x.
I'm saying that our sorry state of group consciousness is playing a large part in manifesting the reality we see the state of the world in today.
If you'd bothered to read my original comment I stated that being brought up in a Christadelphian family had left me wanting to chunder even at the mention of the word God.
Stop trying to slander me and get a life...preferably with goodness in mind and heart 🤔💛
@@Anony_mutt That was not your first 'DOOM AND GLOOM THE SKY IS FALLING DOWN' comment was it Peter. Is this Peter the Sparky / ex sparky in Chch?
This Labour Govt and the maorifying of NZ, too blatant to be ignored. Public schools in our country are also having foisted on them 'inclusiveness' by the Dept of Education, this encompasses teaching of LGBTQ and transgender ideologies. This is just so abhorrent to us as parents. Thanks Michael and Professor Rata.
Its a western cult, and its a biggie
Interp. Education act old one
Education includes religion.
That is what "it" , is.
Choose Yah and his word or state religion of the day; which is green (communist/satanic in origin, nature worship) and hates manking and the "family" as per Adam and Eve.
Ignorance is not free, it is leaned and reinforced by coercion.
@@questor55 wrong
Agreed, lets stand up and be counted
Not just public schools, all teachers come from the same places.
Thank you Professor. What a wonderful intelligent person to have in our corner. Parents speak up and be aware of what's going on.
Thanks Michael and Professor Rata. This needs to be brought to the general publics attention!
LOL Jacinda wants history to be taught... Let's look at her history of non-delivery and a big list of screw ups.
Excellent excellent interview
Maori are taking Education in New Zealand back to the Stone age. The Idea is daunting and can not continue.
To be fair, mostly not Maori, white 'liberal' women, who probably don't identify as woman
Some Radical Maoris feel that way, not all thank goodness
@@dougbulldog9947Prime Minister Hipkins was the Minister for Education at the time all this hocus pocus was being prepared for the conversion of the Tribal Mind in our schools.
@@sunstar1630 lest we forget!!
@@sunstar1630 don't I know it, seen the damage firsthand, say no more
Such a brave professor given the current climate where there is no freedom to speak in ways opposing these woke ideologies. It would be brave for any one to speak out on this. Let alone an education professor!
Ignore the public school system pull your children out and homeschool them, normalize it. Get a community together. Don't trust the government to teach your kids the public education system will destroy them.
So true! Public schooling has more problems than home schooling.
@@ChelleMEis the 'controllers' are persistent if nothing else!
vote act and get charted schools going
@@markreynolds1112 No! I am voting for TOP. They have the best immigration policy.
It's not just public schools.
There is an insanity here. As a Physics teacher at the high school level for many years I decided to not register this year. I did not want to tick the box pertaining to my commitment to Te Reo which was new. Early retirement or go overseas, not sure yet.
Good on you👍🏻
But sad for the kids😒💔
Te reo is an official language of New Zealand along with sign language. English is not. If you don't like it, jog on
@Lit Mis pretty sure thats what he did🤔
Don’t retire , good teachers are required globally, your skills will be gladly/ highly respected and received overseas.. no need for racial overtones within education. No other western country would ever consider such divisive rhetoric.
@@CelestialInsights except Australia
This could well be the most important revelation made on your platform (ha). To be told the Ministry is cut itself off from discourse regarding such a revolutionary curriculum upheaval is beyond my comprehension, at least. Thanks to you both; it must be stopped. New Zealand is being dismantled and this will ensure a future population of criminally limited people. Kia kaha.
We're on the slippery slope towards becoming a Kumara Republic
😂😂😂😂
To keep your children's minds safe, home schooling your children to a higher standard of independent education now appears to be the best for your children.
that is one way how the rest of the world will laugh at New Zealand
More like another way
New Zealand with it's small isolated population is a perfect experimental test case for the globalist steam roller🕳🐇🖤💨
A very Trumpish agenda- religious fundamentalism nudging out academics. This also empowers other extreme religions when they move their cause to the courts.
With our current education standards and levels being some of the poorest in the world with low literacy levels in reading writing and math's, and now this mad government wants to ram this crap into the already busy timetable, we are seriously looking to move to Australia in search of a better education for our bright 10-year-old.
Another comment. The only way of fighting this is to mobilize parents to hold boards of Trustees, including principals accountable for not protecting the children under their care. What I cannot understand is that parents are not outraged at how education has been hijacked by political ideology. Its unforgivable.
It's been happening for decades
Next we’ll learn that Traditional knowledge was used to build Parliament
It is the constant deference to the bigotry of low expectations which has caused and exacerbated the current problems regarding Māori assimilating into a single New Zealand society.
The document Te Huihanganui (A Blueprint of Transformative
System Shift) underpins many the changes occurring in the education sector. It is written using a critical race theory lens. It under pins the changes in the refreshed curriculum (Te Mataiaho). From the Mathematics curriculum (a subject which should be considered universal to all people). The statement is made “Being numerate in Aotearoa New Zealand today relies upon understanding diverse cultural perspectives and privileging te ao Māori and Pacific world-views”. This change to the curriculum should be the number one election issue, it will fundamentally change our country.
Critical race Theory is a divisive regressive negative at every perspective.
Any country engaging in such reverse extrapolation is setting an adjunct in a past timeline that would void the current reality.
I was watching the news to find out how Gisborne was faring as my mother lives there always has, when was it renamed tyreafity
@Hamish Warren. That explains a lot, i wondered where that place is, 'Tyreafity", never heard of it before.
Yes seeing as you brought the subject up, I find it difficult to track reporting on areas of concern regarding the cyclone damage because Maori names are being used, both names should be used. Some refer to areas in english, but others in maori. Not helpful when desperately seeking info.
The old tyre makes an excellent rafity?? 🤷🏻♂️
In obtaining any degree in NZ education, one is forced to learn Maori Language and culture, and it is not a choice....one is failed if one tries to opt out of these totally un necessary components...
and those degrees will be worth nothing ... zilcho .. . de nada in the rest of the world !
I adore Prof Rata. The last sane kiwi? D.A., J.D. NYC
I'm sick and tired of what the Labour goverment has changed over their time in Beehive. Just makes me sick to hear that maori are trying to make our children backwards in their thinking .
Yes ! Perhaps if parents care enough about our children's learning they should be home schooled ,but not all people are able to do it.
Its not Māori but your white elected M Ps that want this in schools……
Thank you Elizabeth Rata. The life force mauri and the legend of the Earth Mother and Sky Father from Mātauranga Māori are as much science as the god Thor and witchcraft from European traditional knowledge.
And she was one of the founders of kura kaupapa Maori, in case anyone thought she was just being racist.
She is my 1st cousin. - Her Dad was very funny and part negro and when her sisters lived with us they looked like Micheal Jackson. My contact address is- Sean O'Dwyer- Number 136- 140 Hobson Street.- Auckland City. 1010. - New Zealand.- South Pacific.'
..the Refresh, is of course, about creating 'Guilt and Grievance'.. why?.. understand that it is not so much the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog..
Some mutts can't be muzzled ✊🏼
Is the teaching in state schools of “spiritual values “ challengable under the Education Act?
The solution to the integration of Maori spiritual knowledge into the New Zealand Curriculum is through the introduction of the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma course for high schools called the Theory of Knowledge (TOK). This is a compulsory senior interdisciplinary course that covers such things as how we know things, critical thinking, how different disciplines gather knowledge including the arts. science, religion, etc and most importantly there is now a section on indigenous knowledge. The latter is the place for Maori beliefs. Forcing the integration of Maori spirituality into science subjects is wrong headed and does a disservice to all those involved.
- and will make New Zealand a laughing stock to the rest of the world
Whistle blowers are always brave.
Just FYI some private schools are far worse at this than public, so don't think private schooling makes your children safe.
I have worked for the Ministry of Education, they are so ideologically captured, it's not just an incorporation of maori historical narratives, they are in fact rewriting those as well to paint maori in best possible light, glossing over our own intertribal conflicts.
A very interesting korero. Universal knowledge is important to teach alongside Tiriti o waitangi partners world views. The idea is not to white wash children nor is it to make one of our Tiriti partners more special than the other. Knowledge is knowledge which is different from global information making the elite more wealthier and powerful think trump, Putin and and any other oligarch in our local and global communties. An inclusive understanding of the Tiriti is what needs to be upheld in schools that prepares all tamariki to be ative citizens on our on world stage.
educate, not brainwash with lies, maori ceded sovereignty to the English Crown, FACT, no partnership, nothing, just subjects and there were others here before maori and settlers made this a country,it was not before them, so there was no colonisation. Maoris problems are of their own making, no one made them anti education, no one made them have their unhealthy lifestyle, but blame colonisation, must not take any blame themselves.
Not to mention the south didn't have much Maori here at all. All the fighting was up north and at one point the south island got so sick of funding the northern wars that they were thinking about becoming there own country.
@@shadowbanned1999 NO wars, rebellions put down by police actions. anything else is lies.
@@berniefynn6623 well yeah that is true but would you call the American civil war not a war?
@@shadowbanned1999 two things are different,swe had a treaty for one thing
@@berniefynn6623 yeah and the insurrectionists broke it ? I don't see the difference. It was a war, it just so happened to be a justified war.
She wants to introduce the concept of “mauri” as a spirit force in the subjects of chemistry and biology?
Jewcinda yes.
Professor Elizabeth Rata no.
With the speed of Maori science
Not her, the Ministry of Education
She's fighting against that, it's the marxist political animals in our education ministry who want to introduce "mauri".
@doug bulldog hadn't even managed to find iron when all you would have had to do is set fire to a west coats beach, on a windy day
A year later and its gotten majorly worse
As a teacher I do not have a problem raising the status of mātauranga Māori, I enjoy looking opportunities to use to use words in te reo, use elements of mātauranga Māori in activities and hold discussions with students about colonialism and institutional racism. I also agree with Professor Rata; the Education Department is too ideological. For example, it makes no sense to include Māori mythology and beliefs about spirituality into science, the origins of science represented a rejection of metaphysical explanations of natural phenomena, I also do not enjoy Māori rituals held at school which exclude the use of English. I would find them more meaningful and inclusive if there were explanations in English.
Everyone has an individual view of the past isn't that true? You should not be pressing your personal view, you should be reading from the books that recorded, eg Treaty Chiefs speeches, what they said about it. You are literally labeling Pakeha as born racists that's evil!
Pastafarianism: A parody religion centered around the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a creator deity who resembles spaghetti and meatballs, popularized in 2005 as a satirical protest against the teaching of intelligent design. Maybe his noodley appendages need to make an appearence in this hemisphere?
The new Te Pukenga....another Maorification of education.....or should i say....indocrination/re- education into everything Maori...!!
Sadly, what is geing taught is Critical Race Theory, not actual history. It is slanted to an extreme degree.
Pre reset slant〽️
Yes agreed. Critical race theory is a divisive backward spiral into a timeline that doesn’t nor could exist. It’s a disgrace beyond reality.
..'Polemic'..' Propaganda'..
Agreed. And in an aggressive manner.
BTW - Levin?
Sometimes Michael's biG words impress even me
☝🏼😉💛
there is know way that I will be involve any debate that Michael Laws will introduce....
There's a new word for vocabulary, polemic, never heard or seen that word before.
Isn't teaching difficult enough to achieve whats is wrong with Maori teaching these subjects in their own way. This is why money has been invested over many years to incorporate marae on school property to ensure these cultural based subjects can be implemented for those who want to learn it, it should be about choice. Q, are all maori going to be in agreement on the content of those subjects being taught, if not why implement it as being compulsory.
Because it's the new Zealand brand of crt. Look up the Maori king movement. It explains alot about the entitlement of these people.
@@shadowbanned1999 das right🤚🏻😉💛
Well said
The narratives and beliefs of some Maori is their choice not to be pushed onto others. Bible in schools should be returned like the Chiefs wanted, that was removed and maori witchcraft has replaced it shame on you, everything you know has been shown to you
One of the major problems with New Zealand is Elizabeth Rata and that she is desperately looking for divisions - and if you look hard enough and wind the right people up - we'll get problems, We all need to realise that through people like her the maori culture is being retro fitted with all kind of things they can be upset about. Trust her like a wet fart. She believes that the current brand of newly minted Maori Culture that has become more able with the additions of European spiritual concepts, , Turning out secular schools into locations that will push the newly minted version of maori religious and God ideas - to the detriment of all other curriculum . There's more to say about this - but I'm tired now..
She’s away with the fairies.
Who Jewcinda??
