Maybe They’re Just Not That Smart
Despite certain groups’ antipathy, standardised tests work very well.
Education
Pride Week Infects 200 New Zealand Schools
This isn’t about hate. It’s about honesty. And if the only way these programmes can survive is by pretending there’s no criticism, lying about protest threats, and dismissing concerned parents as “bigots”, then maybe it’s time they were pulled out of schools altogether.
Are Schools Really Just Childcare?
I have a sneaky suspicion that their real purpose is mostly to help children socialise and to keep them elsewhere so their parents can work.

Plea to Influencer From Thousands of Children
Imagine if those who proclaim to care deeply about Palestinian children such as yourself had called out Hamas decades ago for brainwashing Gaza’s children and training them to hate and become martyrs.
Academic Freedom for Only Some
If universities will not defend inquiry over ideology, then they forfeit their moral and academic authority. The public, the students, and the ideal of higher education itself all deserve far better.
Who Is to Blame for This?
There are laws that are doing real harm and I would like to see that acknowledged in the public debate.
This Has No Place on Campus
We should not have to walk university campuses and see the oldest hatred in the world dressed up as revolution.
This Is Not Education, Otago
When activism masquerades as academia: Otago’s crisis of intellectual integrity.
