Dear Editor On 2nd September the Taranaki Daily News devoted its whole front page to the story about the millions of dollars being allotted to the Green School. Nothing special there, you might say, as just about every newspaper in the country did the same. Neither is the fact that

Privileged, taxpayer-funded, smug, snarky, postmodern, righteously evil Academia, such as, in New Zealand, the taxpayer-funded School of Music. The root of all evil is philosophical, especially when it’
Lewis Andrew sojournal.co.nz As a conservative Christian parent, I’ve always known that schools, in general, are not places that will support me as I attempt to impart my values and worldview to my children. Teaching tends to attract liberals and leftists who understand the power of moulding
Free Press The ACT Party As recently as last Monday, Auckland needed to stay at Level 3 for another week to defeat the virus. Yesterday it turned out that Level 2.5 was sufficient. New Zealanders want to trust the Government, but changes without rhyme or reason make it difficult.

ARE YOU KIDDING? How can you give 11.7 million dollars to the Green School while schools are screaming out for money to fix leaky classrooms, not even mentioning the under-resourcing and behavioural support that is needed. This is totally unacceptable, elitist, and completely inequitable. It is a clear
Green party co-leader James Shaw has been asked by party members to explain why his name appeared on a press release announcing $11.7 million of public funding for a private school. The Greens support the phasing-out of public funding for private schools. Despite this, Shaw announced funding
The revelation that a clandestine army of Western academics has been secretly stealing and selling sensitive research to the Chinese Communist Party is shocking enough. That Australia’s universities are hosting dozens of these scientific Quislings is even worse. The Chinese government is actively recruiting leading Australian scientists for a
As I recently wrote, it may be time to bulldoze the universities. At the time, I was, of course, (half) joking. The joke is getting less and less funny as we learn more and more of how our universities are steadily betraying the very foundations of Western society. It’s
Francis Forde I was filled with equal parts excitement and disappointment upon receiving Thomas Sowell’s latest book Charter Schools and Their Enemies. Sowell is known for his dauntingly long ventures into historic migratory patterns, cultural differences, and economic problems. Although many of his books strain to five hundred pages,
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com In a recent Herald article, Caro Rainsford, a director of Google in New Zealand, argued that the lockdown’s closure of schools and universities, paved a new education future of digital learning.

Adults trust these learning institutions to provide facts and
Back in my high school days, I had a history teacher, Mr Jacques. He was one of those cool, groovy, socialist teachers – full beard, John Lennon glasses, corduroy jacket complete with elbow patches. We never really had much to do with each other, but one thing he said stayed with
As the Drew Pavlou affair has exposed, Australian universities are increasingly in thrall to the thuggish Chinese Communist Party. The same academics who screech and thunder about “academic freedom” at the very notion of a dedicated course in Western Civilisation, happily fall to their knees the instant Beijing’s bully
