Very unfortunately, this article is just too damn true. The part about education, for me, being a retired teacher, was particularly painful.

Our nation's history has been reduced to, relatively speaking, a collection of sound bites--and too many of them aren't even relevant. There is no such thing as American History even taught. It is another victim of relevancy--and is written by cultural apologists. For me, I just can't believe everything is relative, or there is "parity" in everything, or whatever catchy little phrase neo-relativists, self-loathing apologists, choose to use. We owe it to our children to teach them about their culture. It will come back to bite them if we don't.

Most New Zealand conservatives (and those US conservatives/libertarians fond og NZ) will stab me for saying this, but I believe all the achievements of market reforms will come to a nought if we no longer feel what we stand is the right one, and we are willing to defend it, and the importance of morals as society's fabric.

New Zealand may well score high on economic freedom, but its pacifism and social liberalism will be the cancer that kills it in the long term.
