Act Party leader David Seymour says teaching about white privilege in schools is "racialised education". It means recognising white privilege, understanding racism, inequity faced by Māori and disrupting that status quo to strengthen equity." Education consultant Dr Ann Milne said it was "about time" the reality of white privilege was taught in the classroom. Asked if he thought teaching white privilege was racialising the education system, he responded: "The system is already racialised." Addressing white privilege in particular was up to each institution, she said.
