There's a resistance-tsunami happening out there.
Imagining a fair number of schools see this as an opportunity to channel their despair of the Min of Ed & Standford.
I mean, when tru-blue white flight schools like Kirikiriroa's Sacred Heart & Girls High have signed, you've lost the war.

If you are a parent, and your kids' school is not on the list, email the board of trustees and ask them to join it.
Great interactive resource here from Tania Waikato / Chris Abercrombie of schools that have publicly committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Locally, I'm disappointed Fairfield Intermediate, Fairfield Primary & Woodstock aren't listed yet.

Apparently the latest “US peace plan“ was written in disseminated to media by the Russians. A detail only Rubio seems to have noticed.
This would be unbelievable if it wasn’t so completely believable.
Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

So breathtakingly simple.
So appealing.
And so SOOO refreshing when compared to the incremental “sorry-can’t-afford-that” focus-group/opinion poll/ mind numbing policy-making served up by our big parties.

Willis went to school in the late 1980s at Marsden Collegiate, a decile 10 years 1-13 school in Karori. Now, the website is disappointingly scant on details of electrical outfits over the years, but I'm getting Didn't Happen vibes from the main distribution board being accessible to students.

Big oops for Stuff, who had made three articles about how an exprisoner couldn't find work since being released in 1997.

Got home last night from excellent two week road trip around the South Island of Aotearoa - route marked in red, travelled 2,500km/1,500 miles in 2 weeks through some of the most iconic landscapes NZ has to offer - doing lots of #fieldrecording and shooting film! love #nz

Amazing!
More than 1000 schools have now said they will continue giving effect to Te Tiriti, despite the government removing Treaty obligations from the Education and Training Act.
