‘Research debunks Maori abuse’ says the headline!
‘A new parenting programme targeted at Maori tells them they are inherently loving and nurturing caregivers and family violence has arisen only because of European missionaries.
The Office of the Children’s Commissioner is releasing its “Maori Parenting” report on Thursday in a bid to curb violence.
Prior to Europeans arriving, the report says children were considered gifts from the gods and whanau shunned child abuse.
The researchers suggested abuse arose only after Maori were introduced to corporal punishment in missionary-run classrooms….’
Bullshit. Unadulterated self-serving codswallop. A fairytale with nothing but very selective oral “history” to back it up, designed to make the group which sexually abuses, maims and murders its children at a far, far greater rate than European Kiwis feel better about itself. With the added benefit of blaming whitey for their own shitty behaviour–and at whitey’s expense, naturally…
Maori practiced female infanticide and ate children! They weren’t taught that by missionaries.
