big move from the Government this week. Erica Stanford’s had the guts to do what no one else would: ditch the Treaty requirement from our schools. Finally, someone’s put common sense before politics. For too long, our kids have been fed ideology instead of education. This isn’t about erasing history — it’s about freeing schools to actually teach. Of course, it’ll upset some, but most Kiwis will quietly be nodding along. I break it all down — what it means, why it matters, and why this might just be the moment National grows a spine.
