@BerginPam @K02568 Sadly, you are correct. But it should do and under the Education Act 1998, Catholic Schools are entitled to resist the full on Critical Social Justice (woke) indoctrination pushed in every class, not just SPHE. Catholic Schools that do not do this are in violation of Canon Law.

@K02568 You’ve articulated the situation very well. I honestly think at this point the Catholic ethos has little to no influence, particularly in secondary schools, outside of patronage & religion classes. I agree that it may be the last remaining bulwark.

People need to understand what is really driving the school divestment programme. The Department and the NCCA see religious ethos - but more specifically, Catholic ethos - as an obstacle to the full realisation of their new educational project. The quickest way to remove that obstacle is to persuade the public that divestment is about choice and building a more inclusive, pluralistic education system where children of all faiths and none can access schooling without having any religion imposed on them (sounds like a reasonable proposition). This is not, however, the true motivation for change. The reality is, that the removal of religious ethos is necessary to clear the way so that the new, state-endorsed belief system can move to the centre of school life, unhindered. The push for patronage transfer is happening in parallel with sweeping curricular reforms at every level of education. These reforms are largely centred on teaching our children a particular way of understanding the world - a comprehensive belief system in its own right. When we think about various contentious content that has recently appeared in our children’s schools (e.g., gender identity content, family A and family B, age-inappropriate sex content etc.) it's easy to mistake these as entirely distinct and unrelated issues. But they are not. The real aim in each of these seemingly separate lessons is not really for our children to learn about the surface issues - its to help them, through repetitive exposure, adopt a specific moral and social ontology. Each of the controversial topics in the curriculum are taught through this specific lens. The goal then, is for this lens to become the only lens through which kids understand their personal, social, and political world. Catholic ethos in schools currently provides one of the last remaining bulwarks against the advancement of this ideology into every aspect of school life. The NCCA and Dept understand that success in getting children to fully embody a true believer in their ideology rests on removing exposure to any competing belief system. Once you remove religious patronage, the national curriculum can function as an almost totalising tool for indoctrination into the belief system and the reproduction their ideology. With religious patronage removed, no serious counterweight to the State imposed ideology exists in schools. I might be more open to divestment if what was replacing religious ethos were genuinely neutral. So-called "multidenominational" models are not neutral. Once religious ethos is gone, the vacuum this will create will not remain empty. The State's ideology is waiting to fill the void. This is, in my view, an existential threat to the social order. This is not hyperbole. The belief system they are imposing on our children is like a cancer - it eats away at much healthier ways of being, knowing, and relating. It makes people less functional in the real world. This form of education is not education at all, it is indoctrination into a totalising belief system. I understand that the divestment programme has the support of the Catholic Bishops and I believe this comes from a place of genuine goodwill and a sincere desire to foster real pluralism. They are trying, in good faith, to make space for every child. But this goodwill is being taken advantage of to advance an agenda that only becomes apparent when you examine recent curricular reforms and policy changes in detail, and so i believe their support, however well intentioned, is ultimately misplaced. The alternative to current arrangements is not pluralistic education. Although the vast majority of primary schools are currently denominational, they are nonetheless inclusive. I can assure you that, in schools that transfer patronage, your family will not be made to feel welcome or your beliefs included if they differ from the State's on issues such as gender, "diversity", or how we should understand social reality.

@griptmedia To fund a suicidal Net Zero policy, a suicidal immigration policy, a massive hard left NGO industrial complex, to fund United Nations driven woke indoctrination in our schools and a hospital build that never ends. Since when did Fine Gael become the Irish Green Party?

"We do have to collect taxes to fund public services": Tánaiste Simon Harris has defended the fact that over half of motor fuel prices are pure Government tax, arguing that "we have to take in a certain amount of taxation to run the country":

With all arguments over the Irish flag in recent times, perhaps Mícháel Martin and the Irish establishment would prefer a flag that is more representative and inclusive of the current reality in this country and in our schools.

So after the vote tonight, an Taoiseach was on the phone with Mark Carney, WEF Foundation Board member, Former Gov of Bank of Canada & Bank of England, UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance. weforum.org/videos/un-clim… Who is Mícháel really serving (apart from himself)?

I've had my problems with Google Gemini totally refusing to respond to questions on "controversial topics" but fabricating book reviews is a whole new level. Always seek out and confirm the sources regardless of what the AI says. foxnews.com/politics/googl…

@fiannafailparty Yes it is because you've stopped listening to the Irish people and have continued implementing Green Party policies after they were rejected at the last election. Stop the Carbon Tax now and start working for the Irish People rather than the EU, UN and Global Bankers.

⛽🚫 Blocking ports, fuel depots and public transport is not the way to make your point. We understand the pressures people are under - and we've responded with the most significant support package in Europe. 🇪🇺 I'm asking protesters to de-escalate now. 🙏

@Jklunden The Irish people have had enough of the Global Bankers Climate and ESG scam and the Carbon Taxes and economic re-distribution being facilitated by national leaders like Martin, Starmer and former Bank of England Gov & UN Climate Envoy Mark Carney. Enough is enough.

There should be penalties for every public servant who is destroying this country. This man is insufferable.

@Jklunden I would have thought that the National Parent's Council might have also raised concerns in this area, assuming they actually seek to represent parents, and don't wish to be complicit in another state scandal regarding vulnerable school children?

I fully agree with Laoise's post below. We work tirelessly to get the information out to parents - when the Dept of Education and media fail. To put this in context: The Daily Mail daily readership is about 100,000–205,000 readers per issue. We just spent getting 70,000 leaflets into the hands of parents the last two months. Fundraising, printing, shipping and leafleting. A lot of boots on the ground to make this happen. One article - in one day - could have hit more than our leaflet campaign. Giving readers a point of reference to get info and solutions is a vital piece.

Woke indoctrination is a control mechanism, mistaken as virtue by those ensnared by it's delusive, unsubstantiated assertions. Dogmas evolve to achieve the outcomes of those who control the narrative. This is coercive control at a population level similar to Maoist China.

So what part of this do Catholic schools in Ireland not understand? See Can.803 §2 in terms of the expectation of Catholic educators. vatican.va/archive/cod-iu… and the Catholic teaching on gender: #en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">press.vatican.va/content/salast… Many "Catholic Schools" are following neither.

@SuzieD755164 Blood clots and heart attacks on the rise since 2021 - I wonder George whether you might consider other sources of those conditions, or the global banking scam (sorry, climate scam) that seeks to re-distribute wealth from Western nations and further erode their debt sovereignty.

Crazy claims in this article that farmers are causing air quality to deteriorate in Ireland, which over time can lead to clots and strokes. Let's clarify some things: 1. There is an active globalist agenda to get rid of individual farmers and control the general food supply. GMO crops that do reproduce are being pushed forth by Bayer/Monsanto, restrictions and regulations regarding farming are on the increase. Farmers, the very people who supply our food are being demonised. There are many documented examples the world over of farmers beimg forces into slelling or reducing the size of their farms. Even home growing of food is being demonised in recent years as being "bad for the environment" and organic food has been referred do as dangerous in the Irish Independent in recent months. Then future will be lab grown food, nothing natural or nutritious. It will make you sick and shorten your lifespan. 2. The air quality IS poor. But the issue comes from above. Anyone with eyes and a lack of denial can see what is happening almost daily now. 3. Blood clots and heart attacks are on the rise since 2021. It has nothing to do with air quality and everything to do with the experimental shot.

@K02568 Irish parents have been reduced to the role of "stakeholder" in the education of their children. Twice as many, primarily leftist NGOs, were allowed to attend yesterday's Convention on Education. These words from the Communist Manifesto come to mind.

This is critical pedagogy and it is happening here in Ireland as well. Education becomes about shaping kids socio-political beliefs by leveraging their emotions, sense of guilt, and social pressure. The whole goal is to create a moral imperative that they become activists.

@K02568 Page 45 of the Manifesto of the Communist Party states "Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty." Irish parents are mere "stakeholders" in their children's education now. marxists.org/admin/books/ma…

@Jklunden Created a bunch of self proclaimed Marxist academics to legitimise a two tier polarised society. How dare anyone attempt to bring this garbage into our schools. The slides which include the source references, were taken from this video: youtu.be/6TTZswYxGKM. Watch and learn.

@Jklunden Critical Race Theory is a neo-Marxist political practice of re-engineering society that creates division rather than resolving it. Neo-communists such as the Irish Green Party are all too keen to see it's introduction here. youtube.com/watch?v=ALOVZ9…

This rhetoric that the Irish are a racist people is misinformation and hateful against the Irish. I'm not Irish and, having lived here 23 years, can say that the Irish are so warm and welcoming. However - their own good empathy is being weaponised. People have also had enough of the reckless immigration destroying social cohesion and culture.

@Jklunden Sounds like the missing information that RTE like to keep to themselves and keep from the Irish people. I believe Part 2 of this series in coming in a few weeks. youtu.be/NvPCRR6x-NU
