OPINION: Teachers and school leaders are currently trying to get their heads around the Teaching Council’s latest initiative–Unteach Racism. The argument for systemic racism in New Zealand is built on several premises. Yes, racism is real, happens today, and should be addressed in schools when it can be seen and heard. I expect that Unteaching Racism is founded on the good motive of addressing disparities in New Zealand society. It is here that perhaps the greatest concern lies with regard to unteaching racism.
