The Senior Lead Māori will focus on two critical pieces of work led out of the Māori Directorate. The first is to act as Pharmac's lead for an external project aiming to identify, map and analyse racism and bias across Pharmac, and to further develop measures to monitor removal of bias and racism in our systems.
Nice, ethnonationalism is growing

Just change the name of the dog and be done with it. Call it Darkie or something, I don't care.

Yeah, acclaimed writer and New Zealand Order of Merit recipient Tusiata Avia mustn't like you because what she's saying makes you feel uncomfortable

Why would I feel uncomfortable? Was it the wind chimes in the background?

The owners of the works (Netflix) are within their rights to do so, but seriously? I've never given Netflix a cent, and I never will.
No different to the Dr Seus "scandal" from a little while back: This is all marketing. The left will happily buy the censored version (which while not historically pure is closer to in line with modern sensibilities) while the right will buy up "to preserve the historically accurate version and own the libs"...

And Netflix makes bank.

Sanity prevails

World Athletics has voted to exclude transgender competitors from elite female competitions if they have undergone male puberty, in a decision the governing body said had been taken to “protect the future of the female category”.

World Athletics president: decision guided by “overarching principle” of fairness, as well as the science around physical performance and male advantage.

Maths is cancelled

Quote:


The New Zealand Government's plan to teach maths for social justice, developed by the Ministry of Education, advocates for a "critical maths pedagogical approach" that aims to use maths as a tool for developing critical awareness about wider social, environmental, political, ideological, and economic issues.

The plan encourages students to interrogate dominant discourses and assumptions, including that maths is benign, neutral, and culture-free, and to address issues of power, social justice, and equity in the community and the wider world.

Maths isn't racist though Maori experiences of racism in education is well documented.

_indigo1 12th April 2023 12:02
It's interesting that you used is instead of are in that sentence.
One could assume it's simply a mistake.
However it could be more than that - an exposure of the objectification of Maori - not treating them as individual humans but reducing them to that which makes them persecuted.

I’m sorry citizen, it sounds like you are making an assumption. Please present yourself at an approved facility for interrogation.

Of course Maori aren't a homogeneous group but I think you're not acknowledging how systematic it actually is.

_indigo1 12th April 2023 19:37
I didn't indicate my acknowledgement or lack thereof either way, you're projecting that - it simply was not the subject of my post

Ab 12th April 2023 19:48
The Ministry of Education's new resource doc for teachers informs them that students can "consider how biological sex has been constructed and measured over time and what this means in relation to people who have variations in sex characteristics; consider variations in puberty, including the role of hormone blockers; explore the role of genetics in constructing debates about gender and sexuality"

starting at age (checks notes) five.

Yeah, nah. If I got the slightest hint that this material was going to be stuffed in the head of a five-year-old child of mine, I'd yank the kid from the school faster than you could say "totally inappropriate".

I have no idea what you're saying. It might be helpful to explain what you find interesting, otherwise anyone wishing to engage with you is inevitably required to project into what you've left empty.

Right now, given your objection, it seems like you just happen to be making whimsical observations. Which I don't think is really the case.
