Truth and Error Woven Together – a review of:
A School Resource on the Treaty Published 2018 by the Ministry of Education For the School Journal Story Library
Parents – This is a review of a school journal in comic form about the Treaty of Waitangi. We believe it is an attempt to brainwash children with Treaty misinformation. Children are being groomed to believe that Maori have been hard done by. The exact opposite is true. Maori get special privileges (see here) and huge steps have been taken to redress valid injustices. For example: the Sim Commission in 1926 and the full and final settlements of the Waitangi Tribunal. We must go forward to the future based on the truth, not fabrications that come from a revision of history. Note: We identify AWEA (education for social justice) as the copyright holder of comic Te Tiriti O Waitangi by Ross Colman, Mark Derby and Toby Morris (2018).
