With all the talk of bullying at the governmental level, the below letter from the teachers’ council must be exposed; an organisation threatening teaching staff with disciplinary actions for not toeing the line to their ideology is a fascist institution.
It all stems from the leadership of a nation where free thinking is discarded and replaced with the forced ideologies of minority groups. This New Zealand demands one source of truth – one way or the highway – choosing the demands of some at the expense of many.
Free speech and critical thought is becoming unlawful; mind your manners, be kind and keep your opinions to yourself if you want to hold onto your career.
It should not be surprising really, after teaching in some schools where the culture was precisely that – teaching staff afraid to speak their mind during staff meetings […] while being expected to teach and empower their students to use their voice and engage in critical thought (something that is also being discouraged now). […]
You want to discuss bullying, well, it is not only among 16-year-olds, it is rampant at professional levels from leadership.
A recent proposal for a citizens-initiated referendum to remove harmful, unscientific, gender theory from schools has meant that several government ministries and non-governmental organisations have been invited to submit their thoughts on the referendum question: Should NZ ban harmful unscientific gender theory from all schools?
The first submission received from the NZ teachers’ council did little to address the request, [but] instead chose to focus on threatening behaviour, dictating what beliefs the teaching staff were expected to hold, or else…
The one teacher code I held most important throughout my teaching career, instilled whilst in teaching college, was to ‘Provide a safe learning environment for all students.’ The very code the council did not address in their backlash towards a teacher using her right to question and challenge concerning content in the school curriculum – the teacher who dared to take on the institution of Hogwarts Ministry of Education that implements magical spells and untruths where children are misled that they can change their sex, instead of teaching biological facts. An education system that is failing academia due to the over-exposure and time spent on political experimentation of our most vulnerable people: children.
To forge ahead with the expected teacher code (to provide a safe learning space for all students [and] adopt a ‘first do no harm’ approach) will result in disciplinary action so say them, the teachers’ council.
It is time to abolish the underhanded behaviour of the teaching council, overhaul the failing education system and repair the damage already caused to many of our young people who have been indoctrinated into a false mindset of being told that they can choose their sex with consequences of increasing mental health issues and anxious children.
A recent poll stated that a majority – 72 per cent – of New Zealanders are concerned with the direction New Zealand is headed. This is one of the areas of concern.
Is this the New Zealand we want? New Conservative will direct the country back to commonsense truths and workable solutions.
