This is not defamation (ie, a false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation): John Cole wasn't manipulated into saying what he said and he offered his views willingly in full knowledge that he was being recorded. Yes, it's damning, but it's the truth, which actually makes what he says even worse http://www.amazonfilms.net/pni A former teacher of the Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School, uses the current loophole in the law for justifying the maltreatment of children. There's an important loophole in the current Education Law that allows some New Zealand schools, Private Non-Integrated (PNi) ones, to operate almost entirely without safeguard or supervision by any Ministry Department. These schools aren't covered by the vast majority of sections of the Education Act, including those covering protection of children from bullying and from damaging actions by the school. As a parent sending your child(ren) to such a school you need to be sure that the institution is up to the job, without Ministry support. But at the moment PNi schools aren't by law obliged to inform parents of the school's different status in law with regards to the children's reduced protection and rights, a situation that further puts children at risk through parents being ignorant about it. We are calling for compulsory disclaimers in these schools that all parents must sign to show that they have been made fully aware of the implications for their children's safety and their rights in sending them to a PNi school. Watch the video and sign the petition to help protect children in NZ from this dangerous loophole. http://www.amazonfilms.net/pni
