We’ve noticed increased traffic in recent months which suggests there are a few more regular readers. Welcome.
You can expect to see a new post every weekday, and often one on the weekends also.
This Thursday we are introducing another writer for Sojournal, Ethan Aloiai, the Maga hat wearing teacher who drove the New Zealand left into a frenzy after his appearance at a 2020 BLM protest. This led to an attempted cancellation by the ever tolerant and open-minded David Farrier (among others) who couldn’t handle people supporting Ethan on his blog site so he mass-banned them. Fair enough, his website and all. However, what is outrageous was the degree of his antagonism which was seen in his attempt to get Ethan censured by the Teaching Council. Apparently we cannot tolerate a man with different views to David teaching children at an independent school which people choose and pay money for because they don’t want the kind of schools David approves of. That’s the totaleftarians for you. They don’t have an argument. They only have cancellations and force.
This has been a spectacular example of an ‘own goal’. Because of the egregious attempts at destroying him, Ethan has now been featured on Talanoa Sa’o with excellent commentary on education in New Zealand. He is also becoming well-known in Christian education for his expertise in critical theory. Ethan Aloiai is arguably New Zealand’s foremost expert on critical theory and its dangers, and we are really excited to have him on board with Sojournal! Look out for his first post, highlighting his conversion therapy bill submission which will feature on Thursday at 9:00.
