MODERATORS
You said you were against this action and then say you support it so like I said maybe you are the one that needs education.
Why should we ban these books from the classrooms? So far the only reason you gave was that your son who has a learning disability is unable to deal with them. You are in fact saying all books in classrooms should be aimed at children who have learning disabilities.
And again you lashed out at me and accused me of being a bigot who doesn't want inclusion and diversity in schools for no reason.
Get your claims straight.
Here is the problem with your justification for this act.
It was working fine before. Nobody was complaining. The teachers were fine with it, the students were fine with it.
The reason for the change is almost certainly racism and hatred of all things Maori which is in line with everything else this government is doing.
