They wanna teach our children racist lies
The Te Tiriti content (which isn't introduced until Year 4) implies the English text was signed in Feb 1840, that the Māori text is a "translation", and that Te Tiriti was primarily a response to the Musket Wars. This is all nonsense.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

Another Little Prince book translated to a Philippine language! This time, Kapampangan—the language of the provinces of Pampanga (where I lived as a kid) and Southern Tarlac, and other parts of the Central Luzon.
The translation was done by Oscar Muñoz Balajadia, Jr. aka Paps Osmubal.

MAKE IT LOUD, AOTEAROA!
Let them know where we stand, it's what Aunty Helen would do if she were here on the #MegaStrike
"The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union"

I’m usually with the dictionary, but also, eventually it turns into whatever we want it to be. Language is blessedly ungovernable ❤️
Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
