Check out this article in the NZ Herald today on Bill English accusing NCEA of ‘political correctness’. He claims that using Maori names as fictional characters that feature in an accounting exam is political correctness. How petty is that? The National Party are on the slide, and cannot make an impact with the media, so Bill English looks for every little thing possible that he can make a meal out of. Does he actually think the students will notice or even care what the name of the companies or the characters are? The students’ main concern and focus is to complete and pass the exam. I’m sure none of the students will even remember any of the names a few hours after the exam!
