Principal compares Minister to Hitler

The union assault on national standards gets more deranged.

Marlene Campbell is the principal of Salford School in Invercargill. She writes on her Facebook wall:

And the MOE attack schools deferring setting targets, thats a constructive response? Excuse me Minister Hitler? Am I in Germany? Is this the end of self managing schools? read Kelvin Smythes latest blog, he is a true hero!

Yes having the Ministry of Education call a school up is of course Nazi Germany all over again, and a principal who calls the Minister, Hitler, is exactly the sort of leadership we want in our schools.

Campbell is on the executive of the Southland principals union.

UPDATE: This is not a one off. In the comments they have found another recent reference where she calls the Minister Hitler.
