Once is bad, twice is worse but when it happens a third time it is a habit. Massey University has now removed all doubt about their true stance on Freedom of Speech. They may as well add a pair of Jackboots to their coat of arms because they are as

Information Satire Redline Contemporary Marxist Analysis rdln.wordpress.com By The Council of Disobedient Women In a press release today Massey University announced it has decided to rebrand and reorientate after struggling to be a University for grown-ups.

Why Organisations Should Shun Rainbow Tick Certification
Organisations considering getting the Rainbow tick of approval via Rainbow Tick certification should think twice before applying. Rainbow Tick certification is like the song “Hotel California”: you can sign in but you can never leave. Look at what has happened in New Zealand with Halal certification. All our large meat
Face of the Day
Today’s face of the day, Massey University Vice-Chancellor Professor Jan Thomas, should be ashamed of herself. HOW DARE SHE claim that her university upholds the values of free speech and freedom of expression! Below is a press release from the Free Speech Coalition in response to Massey University’
Massey University One, Freedom of Speech Zero

The Matriarchal Cruelty of Modern Education
“Modern educayshun” really is doing a disservice to young Australians. Not only is it making them dumber – Australia’s international education rankings have steadily slid further and further behind, despite spending billions more – but it’s making them frightened and confused, too. Creepy indoctrination programs like “Safe Schools” and “Mates
How Indoctrination Swamped Education

Universities have become a wasteland of leftist groupthink, where the only differences of opinion allowed are between left, far-left and communist. Those academics have in turn inculcated generations of teachers in a
These Kids Are Alright
As we endure the bratty antics of scowling ignoramus Greta Thunberg and her idiot parade of “climate-striking” infants, it’s easy to be fooled into thinking that the younger generation is going to hell in a handcart. That’s nothing new: oldies have been grumbling about the “youth of
