Frank Newman: APOLOGY REQUIRED
Dover Samuels has renewed his call for the Crown apology over canings for speaking te reo at school.
Stuff reports, "A former Labour government Māori Affairs Minister, Dover Samuels, is renewing calls for Māori to receive an official apology from the Crown, for the generation who were beaten for speaking te reo in school. He said he and other students were caned when he attended the Waiharara Native School at Matauri Bay in Northland in the 1940s, when they spoke te reo Māori." See HERE >>>
On this one Dover may have a point. I say that from experience, as I too have suffered the trauma of corporal punishment, not for speaking te reo Maori, but something much worse: speaking my mind.
The incident was in the early 1960s.......
