Dilworth School

 

For those of you who aren't aware, Dilworth School is owned and run by a charitable trust whose sole purpose is to provide a private boarding school education for boys from deprived backgrounds.

The school is first class, with luxury amenities and top quality teachers. Set on multi-million dollar grounds in Epsom, it is an old and highly-respected school, which can count among its alumni such prominent New Zealanders as former Governor-General and High Court Judge, David Beattie, former Prime Minister Mike Moore, and former cabinet minister and historian, Michael Basset.

Many Auckland families have been able to secure education for their kids that would not have been possible without the Dilworth Trust, and since their policy is to lift up the disadvantaged, it's pretty obvious that Maori and Pasifika kids are going to form a large percentage of their pupils.

Currently, over 60% of the kids attending Dilworth are brown.

Some people have a problem with this, notably two former headmasters and two former executives of the old boys' association.

Their comments at wanting more white kids at the school have been interpreted as racism, which is quite absurd. How is it racist to say that too many niggers are getting education that Pakeha kids could be getting?

The Old Boys' Association has rightly kicked this bunch of wankers out of the association, and in a 100% predictable move, the four, wishing to parlay their error into something else entirely, have now threatened to take legal action unless they are reinstated.

It looks to me as though the association has hit the nail on the head in describing their conduct as "ungentlemanly" because only a complete moron of the lowest kind would try to suggest that a makeup of 60% brown people at the school, is anything other than a fair and accurate representation of the deprived families of Auckland.

The four men are former headmasters Murray Wilton and Denis Bradburn, former association president John Simpson, and a member of the association's council, Sandy McNeur.

I'm going to send them an invitation to meet up with some other over-entitled Pakeha dicks - the parents of the boys suspended from St Bede's rowing team who took the school to court for daring to suspend their little snowflakes.
