The PPTA Annual Conference
2
The PPTA have been having their annual conference. Now you would hope that they would be busy debating vital issues like how do we improve numeracy and literacy. How do we lift achievement rates for NCEA, how do we lower truancy rates etc etc.
But as their conference papers show, alas their focus is on the much more important topics of:
- Stopping Red Unions from gaining members
- Removing all references to gender from their constitution and replacing she/he with they
- Replace all references to The Treaty of Waitangi with Te Tiriti o Waitangi
- Lobbying for taxpayers to fund Queer Community Liaison roles in all schools whose jobs will be to campaign for Queer Rangatahi and their rights
- PPTA to become a peace organisation and lobby the Government on foreign policy
- Change the name of Canterbury Region of PPTA to Waitaha
- Change the name of Hutt Valley Region to Te Awa Kairangi
- Change the name West Coast region to Te Tai o Poutini
- Opposing refocusing the curriculum on academic achievement and not ideology
Fills you with confidence, doesn’t it.
