What they can not understand is that history can not be altered, all they
are doing is creating a wrong version.

Noddy was banned because of his mate Sambo who was black! But either rewrites or banning is the sort of thing we get from woke bastard like you and Labour/Green Rich. So no surprises!

You forgot political wankers like you and Labour/Green Rich!Do you think they are intolerant / conservative / religious people? In
the USA it is Republican leaning states that are banning most books.

but where there are differences,
the Maori version is used. That there are differences has been known
for about 50 years; I understand that the Courts (NZ and
International) have determined that where there is a difference, the Indigenous (in our case Maori) version is to be used. Why does it
matter to you?
