HAVE A THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE.
If wicked whitey HAD actually stamped the Maori language out of the school system, surely that would have made many Maori all the more determined to ensure its survival by passing it on to their kids outside of school hours.
Since this didn't happen, it's clear Maori parents felt it more important for their children to develop proficiency in English to prosper in Te Ao Hou [the Modern World].
Just because radical 'parts' now want to resuscitate something their elders didn't value enough at the time to preserve, that gives them no claim on MY wallet to fund it. And no right to force it on everyone else's children.
