NANDOR’S CANNABIS EDUCATION NOT WANTED OR NEEDED
New
Zealand First MP Craig McNair today congratulated the
Principals of Tamaki College and Auckland Grammar for
speaking out against the efforts of Mr Nandor Tanczos to
peddle his pro-cannabis views around our High Schools and
Universities.
“Whilst accepting the democratic right of
individuals to promote their opinions, I find it very
difficult to accept that there is any sound purpose in Mr
Tanczos’ actions in this regard, said Mr McNair.
“I am
encouraged and delighted that these two Principals have
shown that they are not prepared to have pro-cannabis
advocates preaching to their pupils and at a time when we
are seeing so much evidence of the result of drug usage by
our young people. Those in positions of influence and who
take a firm line to oppose drug usage, have my full
support.” Concluded Mr McNair.

The comments have raised a few eyebrows overseas, and a few hackles here at home. Nash’s comments have also been something of a gift to an Opposition adept at portraying the Ardern government as a bunch of liberal elitists out of touch with ordinary people...
