Once again our current govt shows it's disdain for Maōri and te Tiriti.

What they said was they were glad the people involved on the kapa haka group were more inclusive than you.

No they made a specific insult and said I was against inclusion of children with disabilities in kapa haka groups.

I’m just pointing out how needlessly rude you were.

I feel no need to be polite to people who hurl unwarranted insults at me and accuse me of being a bigot.

    No that all happened after you questioned their education and called them sick.

    I called her sick because she wants to deny students books with maori words in them because her child has a learning disability.

    I never said kids with disabilities of any kind should be excluded from any kapa haka group or anything else, she made that accusation out of the blue.

    And look in your defence, they DID have a clumsily worded anecdote that was only tangentially related (and it took AGES to reveal the additional challenge these books created for their kid, was what they were getting at - I understand that).

    I guess what I'm getting at is: attack their point - not the personality.

    Needless to say, I'm over it...
