Love your work. You can also try the Ministry of Education according to the Education Review Office and if LGBTQI+ rights are being infringed upon there's also the Human Rights Commission. I'd be pissy as hell tbh so good on you for fighting the good fight.
It’s unfortunate nothing seems to be happening with the school and the MAGA hat wearing teacher. I wonder if it would bother them enough if parents were to start pulling their children out of that school (or even his specific classes)? This is assuming the parents don’t share his ideals, which they very well may.
On a more uplifting note, happy to see that people were heard, changes were made, and Struck got approved. I think astrology is fun but don’t take it that seriously and I’m not really into dating apps, but I still look forward to this app being available on Canada so I can download it in support :)
I assume a lot of those parents share those views... such is the nature of a private Christian school. It’s sad. I did hear from a pupil though, who was well aware of the bullshit. It reminded me kids are smart. And I’m with you on astrology - I just think it’s a cool idea by cool people and look forward to it coming to NZ one day too! Many thanks for reading!
Witnessing your drive towards action being taken on this matter is very inspiring David .Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. It is very frustrating to see that an establishment of education is not able to take corrective measures and is rather hiding when faced with an ask for answers
As for struck , i told you. ... It will float ... when you had initially posted about it.😍 So happy for your friend. Do wish her all the very best from our side for the venture !
Glad to hear you're keeping up with this. The damage this messaging can cause needs to be addressed. Personally I'm reading the schools silence as an endorsement.
I have signed up. I need these stories. I need to know that there are good people. In you and in the comments. I’m raising a daughter and I am scared for her future.
Will miss your wonderful stories and investigations and you are worth $5 a month and more. When I'm back at work (fuck corona) I will sign up. Hope it goes well until then. So glad you are still going after the bigoted teacher. Hope you get a result soon.
Sarah - totally fine and understood. I will still send out cool stuff for free - and won't be hiding the super important stuff away! I still appreciate your support!
It really sucks, because I want to support all the people who make my life worth living, but as a 0 hours contract worker my furlough payment is low and it only just cover bills and food for me and the pooch. I'm in the UK so hoping things improve soon but looking at Leicestershire I wonder how probable that is. :( My first pay day I'll be signing up.
I too want to support people SO terribly! However, if my friends are currently bringing me coffee, eggs, and bread, to ensure I have enough savings for rent and utilities, it would be shameful of me to spend money on entertainment :(
You really are unbelievable, freedom of speech is just that. A MAGA hat does not spread the rubbish you speak of, it’s people like you who do. Get your head out of your far left leaning butt
@ngati_frybread (Instagram) has been sharing accounts of racism in nz schools in their stories. looks like old mate in the MAGA hat has way more allies than we'd all like to think.
Yes! I was just about to comment the same. So many stories. And those are so far all being ignored by MoE. Sadly it's no wonder David is having no success with this 😭😭😭
Try contacting the BOT chairperson if the school. The school will also have a complaints policy and procedures. This might be on their website. If they still don’t reply they will be breaking their own complaints policy. If they do contact you but do nothing you can back to Teaching Council. Good luck

Thanks for this tip, Andra.
Infuriating that no one wants to deal with this racist homophobe who is influencing children daily. Thanks for pursuing the issue.

David, as usual, thanks for your amazing effort. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to support and receive more of your brilliant writing. 💙
Thanks, Rose. I’m trying!
As soon as I get my tax back, a subscription is the first priority
Please zero pressure! Free ones will keep coming. If you’re financial situation is tight, stick to free! Actuals.

Thanks so much Amy!

Thanks Kate, that's super appreciated and kind. And the second it becomes unviable - or you get sick of me - you can cancel at any moment!
Dear David, thank you for trying to protect our tamariki from harmful beliefs. Please don't stop. Arohanui.
Thanks Lydia - same back at you.

Me too. Sadly, I canceled on my two long term Patreon people I followed 3 months ago. Gotta find the money somewhere until the economy recovers!

Very, very valid. And I know it's such a hard time. Free things will keep coming, and I just appreciate your support via your eyeballs!

You seem pleasant!
Thank you for all your hard work on this and other important topics.

I enjoy reading your webworm and all fighting for the ‘little guys’. Wish I can give $! As soon as I am able, I shall!
