I hope Oliver stays as a student at the school. There are some crazy things going on in schools these days, some terribly 'woke' stuff as we've seen, anti this and anti that, mostly anti commonsense in most cases. Keep trucking on Oliver, go boy go.

I'm entirely and thoroughly impressed by Oliver's admission that he is not Christian. The fact that Oliver, at age 15, has worked so hard to inform himself of the historic benefits of Christian values to society and that he also ha the maturity and clarity of mind to concede this publicly just blows me away. You are an outstanding young man who clearly has outstanding parents. Well done all round. Wendy Melbourne Australia.
Sean, Thank you for backing Oliver, He has the right of freedom of speech. The people are sick of the narrative and cancel culture. if it does not aline to a certain groups thinking.
For a teacher to rip up some document that Oliver had given his mate is so wrong, this teacher needs to know her boundaries, it is not for her to determine whether this document is right or wrong and to destroy it. I never thought that this high school had gotten this woke bad
If that had been a Maori student having their matariki book torn up all racial hell would have broken loose would have been all over TV and spouted in Govt!
@@StGammon77 not quite. It would be like if a Maori student was showing off a pamphlet encouraging we stop the farmers voice and/or their wards and a teacher came up to them and ripped it up in their face. The stop Co governance supposedly isn't about race even though it's specifically aimed at Maori and their representation, while farmers can be of any ethnic background so it should be a just comparison. I do think it's abit of an overreaction on the teachers part. I don't see why she couldn't just confiscate it until after school, then he could have the pamphlet back later if he really wanted it or it'd go in the bin by 4.00pm or something idk. It seems like a strange reaction on her part.

Congratulations, Oliver. This country desperately needs young men and women who are confidently competent! Thankyou Sean, for inviting him to give his speech to a much wider audience. Possibly awakening a woke or three?!
Interesting, a very thought provoking speech, funny.....a critical thinker but the school doesn't want to encourage it.....go for it Oliver, you will go far in this world.
To be clearer, it’s not religion in general, but a specific religion; Christianity, more particularly Roman Catholicism that has played the significant role in shaping western civilisation.
The very foundations of it. How many of these woke cry bullies would start attacking the foundations of the very building they live in? Yet they are doing it every day.
No way. Total delusion. Roman Catholicism has done nothing but WRECK communities. It’s true Christianity which has empowered and built western civilisation on Judeo Christian values. Roman Catholicism brings manipulation and control and is not founded on the purity of an uncorrupted Bible (RC has a perverted Bible which was added to and changed, in order to control the masses, case in point ‘purgatory’ which is not a biblical concept at all).
Obviously, the words "Free Speech" are dirty words at New Plymouth Boys High School. Good luck with the meeting with your Headmaster on Friday. Stand your ground young man.
Today I resigned my job rather than let my boss censor my opinion. To Oliver Jull I say good for you. Stand by your convictions. Sometimes in life there are times to speak your mind, and other times it is more prudent to remain silent - don't ever let anyone turn you into a "Yes Man". When you go to your meeting with the Principal, be calm, be polite. and take and adult with you. Not for them to talk on your behalf, but simply to sit there, listen, and be your witness. Take someone who will not become emotional. Listen to what he has to say without interjecting. When he is finished, if you disagree with him, tell him that, "with respect" you disagree. You don't have to elaborate on why. He already knows the whole country is watching, and on Friday afternoon The Platform is going to be in contact to ask how things went. Expect to hear from politicians who want to have their photo taken with you mate. Kia Kaha. All the best - Ben Norton.
First class Oliver, first class. Don't be afraid to name and shame the blighter who tore up the stop co-governance flyer either. Back in the day I was thrown out of class by Ms. Shona Hearn, English teacher and friend of Ms. Karen Sewall who later became principal after Des Mann retired at Green Bay High School, for daring to say that I thought the Springboks should be able to play the All Blacks.
So if he had said he was a Christian what bloody difference would it make? Sounds like it was a loaded question because Sean obviously isn't one. Why even ask? What difference does it make if he is a Christian? Anyone else sick and tired of media attacking Christians and using bait tactics?
This sounds like a well rounded young man if he was my son i would be proud of him i think it should ring in to platform well in the principal office and you could live feed to all of us please keep on top of this cause it is true madness what the school has done
debate the issues with evidence, statistics, historical patterns etc, apply ethics to evaluate the rightness or not. shutting down conversations fuels ignorance, ill will etc. truth is served by rigorous critique
Well done young man, good luck to you in your future. Always remember that intelligence and education are two entirely different things. One can be intelligent without being educated, but far too many people are educated but unintelligent.
Oliver the school did you a favour, had they let you read it only 1000 folk would have heard it, now 50,000 plus. Silly school they are now world famous
Irrelevant and missing the point here. The point was to support free speech and young people thinking and Sean has done that. Kudos Sean and the Platform.
Excellent speech! I agree with many of the points. The point about religion I think is more complex. The point about migration. Yes I agree with that. In the old days people used to come across the hill smash you on the head and take your stuff. Nowadays mass migration is the new means of coming over the hill and taking your stuff.....and calling you a racist if you disagree with them! Successive Governments have got the settings wrong in New Zealand. Over crowded schools, over crowded hospitals, congested roads, overloaded infrastructure and underlying conflict building in society. Well constructed speech Oliver saying what many people are too afraid to say!
Make him a professor, and make the teachers from that school take his class. Anyone with half a brain will agree with Oliver, 15 year old who took down the school.
As I said previously on the Platform, congratulations on a great speech. Sound like the truth to me but even if I hadn't agreed with it, it seemed balanced and well researched. I am amazed and disappointed that it was not allowed to be spoken at school. Seems to me that there is something quite wrong with our education system.
what a amazing speech , he has a point, in this speech, well , i hope those teachers, get whats commimg to them, shame on them, why are those teachers, still teaching, they should loss their jobs, this young man gives me hope, that there is hope, with young men like this , thank you .
Well Done Oliver. It's possible 'days of challenge' are ahead for you as the Boisterous Minority may get in front of you and some of that likely will be teachers unfortunately. Good On You, it's great you not only have an opinion but you also are prepared to share your thoughts/believes. Cheers
Oliver tell the principal you are recording your meeting with him. If he has nothing to hide he'll have no problem with it. Either way get back on the platform and inform NZ about what this principal says.
You should have been considering these issues fifty years ago. Toynbee was a Classicist and for a time, the English speaking world's most well known public intellectual. But the Western world went down a different path of multiculturalism. Now people settled in Western countries not European, do see quoting Toynbee as an existential threat instead of a debating point. As I love to say, you only have yourselves to blame.
Epic stuff, hopefully he can get some traction with other young people. I agree with most of what comes out of Oliver’s pie-hole, especially the point about religion being foundational to western civilization, and I’m also not a practicing christian. The woke mob appear to want to replace traditional christian values, but with what?!? If that Olympic Ceremony is a taste of it, then ‘Just send the meteor’ we’re screwed.
They are still based on the ten commandments. Not many people understand this unfortunately and there is far more 'affirming' than swearing on oath happening
Viewing the uncomfortable truth (yourself?) in the mirror of excellence always elicits vehement defensive retoric because it does not fit (exposes) the person (group)'s preferred narrow and onesided narrative.

I agree with most of what comes out of Oliver’s pie-hole, especially the point about religion being foundational to western civilization, and I’m also not a practicing christian. The woke mob appear to want to replace traditional christian values, but with what?!? If that Olympic Ceremony is a taste of it, then ‘Just send the meteor’ we’re screwed.
Where can i listen to that speech
Will this be young Oliver's 15 minutes of fame suggested by Andy Worhole? Or will he go on to greater things?
Let us know how the meeting goes with the headmaster.
Most if not all law was based on Christian doctrine , teachings and beliefs…now? Not so sure what laws are based on…
They are still based on the ten commandments. Not many people understand this unfortunately and there is far more 'affirming' than swearing on oath happening
Viewing the uncomfortable truth (yourself?) in the mirror of excellence always elicits vehement defensive retoric because it does not fit (exposes) the person (group)'s preferred narrow and onesided narrative.
Ka pai Brother 🙏
