GOVERNMENT DAMNED BECAUSE IT DID, AND DAMNED IF IT DIDN’T
Many Acts and Laws were passed to help maori adapt to European society since colonisation. But today’s crop of agenda driven griever maori twist these to put them in bad light.
A prime example is the Native Schools Act 1867 which decreed that English should be the only language used in the education of Māori children, today’s part-maori grievers spread the tale that ‘maori was beaten out of the children’, yes in some cases children were physically punished for speaking maori, in those days ALL children were physically punished if rules were breached.
The opportunist grievers conveniently forget that this was at the request of the wise maori elders who wanted maori children to be equipped for the changing society and economy that colonisation brought.
If the government had not of helped maori learn the English language then today’s grievers and their European sycophants would be beating the door down at the Waitangi Tribunal and bleating that the govt breached the TOW in not treating maori as equal British subjects in not making the English language available to them. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
