Like…imagine being self-righteously dead-set against fictional redemptions and redemption stories because you legitimately believe that a character realizing they’re being horrible, feeling remorse about being horrible, and wanting and deciding to stop being horrible is a bad message to put out into the world.

“New Zealand’s government wants the Maori language to be taught in all primary schools alongside maths and science, with the prime minister saying she wants to be one of the last generation that wasn’t taught. While te reo Maori is one of three languages officially recognised in New Zealand – alongside English and New Zealand Sign Language – it’s currently not compulsory and not taught at many schools. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern – who wants to raise her daughter, Neve, speaking both Maori and English – told reporters the language was “part of who we are as a country”. “I have an aspiration that my generation will be last generation to regret not having the chance to learn te reo Maori in our learning and education journey,” she said. “I am still, if it’s not obvious, at the beginning of my journey to learn te reo Maori.” Government ministers have avoided using the word “compulsory” – which has proved controversial in the past – in favour of “universal availability”. While the use of words and phrases in Maori is now common in New Zealand, 2013 census figures suggested as few 50,000 people spoke it at a high level, while about 150,000 were conversational. There’s also been a recent surge in interest in beginner Maori courses across the country, with providers saying they had to leave hundreds of people on waiting lists this year.”

NZ government pushes for Maori language in all schools by 2025

YES

Not to get controversial or anything but can we stop with making fun of women being abused by their husbands and playing it off as ‘straight culture’

I lost 10 followers for saying we shouldnt make fun of domestic abuse victims.

can we also please stop making fun of men being abused by their wives thanks

Good addition

Can we also stop acting that domestic abuse is just a “straight” thing?

It’s literally teaching our baby gays that any same sex relationship their going into is safe and they don’t need to be worried about being abused and controlled.

Another good addition
