We live in NZ te reo Māori is our native language. Our grand parents were beaten the language out of them that’s why the next generations are not good at speaking. We need to teach the future kids the language so we can retain it. if you want to live here and raise your children then you should learn our language and tikanga. If not then leave

Our country is a free one, and no one should be forced to do anything that is not in terms of breaking the law. Morality needs to be taken into consideration with this view.

There is a responsibility to preserve and promote our unique cultural heritage. Think of compulsory education in general - isn't it a form of imposing knowledge? Yet, it's viewed as necessary for societal progress. By making Te Reo Māori compulsory, we're not stripping freedom but enhancing cultural knowledge. It's about saving a language from the brink of disappearance. Isn't cultural preservation a moral responsibility too? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this perspective.
