You might not have realised that you needed this thread but you do. I think we all do.
You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.
If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."
And if you can't do either?

The civil liberties approach asks: "What *can't* the government do to me?"
Universal Human Rights asks: "What does every person need to live with dignity?"
In Aotearoa, this means addressing housing, healthcare, education, and cultural rights—not just protecting speech and assembly.

The new Social studies curriculum is atrocious in general, but I just want to shine a spotlight on the explicit retreading of literal Nazi propaganda that is woven through the year 10 content! Buckle up this shit is shocking!
