Once again our current govt shows it's disdain for Maōri and te Tiriti.

For about the fifth time, I do not want to exclude Te Reo from school books, I don't even believe the minister wants to do that.

This is what you said:

I am opposed to shaping our educational system to the lowest common denominator of students

This is pretty well the definition of not being inclusive.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

You are asking for exclusion. Yon can't aim for the lowest denominator and ALSO to everyone else. This si what people are entry to explain. You are asking not for inclusion, but for privilege to by switched to YOUR CHILD instead of the others.

Yes they should be included, not by removing others.

I'm pretty sure here problem isn't your kid by now though.

Cheers.

This is clearly not true because you are defending and excusing this action. The minister absolutely wants to do it which is why she did it.

This is pretty well the definition of not being inclusive.

You should look up the meaning of that word.
