Rawiri Waititi is on the war path ... over treatment of Maori students

Two student teachers say Clive School wouldn't the to be referred to as whaea and matua , translated as Aunty and Uncle.

The Maori Party co-leader says the terms are about respect - whereas the Pakeha Sir and Miss are about hierarchy.

And he says some schools, which he wouldn't name, are cutting taonga off students' necks - which express their cultural identity.
