Bay of Plenty Times 22/4/16
APPEASEMENT In regard to Bay of Plenty Polytechnic adopting the name Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology (News, April 16), to rename a technical institution in the language that had no concept, in my view, of written records will cause international obfuscation of immense proportions in spite of Dr Amanda Torr’s assurances and reasoning.
We currently spend over $40 million a year on the promotion of Te Reo. This renaming shows how far many in academia are willing to go to placate Maori at the expense of all other ethnicities and also indicates an alarming tendency to project ethnically selective agendas into our schools to the detriment of objective, rational learning. (Abridged) B J Omokoroa
