Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1Fred there are differences between the two .
firstly , in relation to faith based schools , parents choose to send their children there , it is the parents choice that children receive that education , it is not the States choice nor is it the School boards choice like in the case of Blue Star.
Also religious studies is not confined to one particular outlook , it is broad based covering all of the different outlooks , Blue Star has one outlook only , that political Integration / federalism is the only way forward , it does not look at the other side of the coin or any other viewpoints.
Finally , you dont hear catholic spokespeople saying this :
quote from Judith Schilling of the EU Commission at an education show in Birmingham :
"everybody has now picked up the idea that we will never succeed in convincing people about the value of being a member of the European Union if we do not start early enough with the young people, before they form prejudices and are misinformed by other sources.”
The Government decides to gradually fade Irish History out our schools while at the same time introducing EU History and Studies. Something has definitely gone wrong with this Country.
Protester, it's good to see someone protesting the indoctrination of our primary school children with EU propaganda before their critical faculties have properly developed. However neither should such vulnerable kids be indoctrinated with religious propaganda, FOR ANY RELIGION, at such a vulnerable and suggestible age.
We've all seen the harm caused by the religious orders in this country "behind closed curtains" too. We've also seen the harm caused worldwide by religious fundamentalism goaded on by US and Saudi / Qatari money to destabilise and destroy countries like Libya, Syria, etc etc.
So no to indoctrination of our vulnerable primary school children with political OR religious propaganda.
Lets instead put them on a solid program of critical thinking so by the time they leave school, they will not be taken for fools by any political or religious figures.
Protest Complete .
A good mornings work , I arrived before 9am and stayed until 12 .
A Bit rude though , they pulled their curtains over on me . But I suppose that about sums up the EU , doing things behind closed curtains.
thinking of other protests now , including a protest to reinstate Eddie Shaw Chairman of the board at the Harold Primary School in Glasthule
Eddie Shaw was forced to resign his position as chairman of the "catholic" primary school last summer for sending home to parents leaflets advertising a pro life vigil in which up to 50 000 ordinary men, women and children attended including myself .
I dont see why someone should be forced to resign for promoting a christian message that all life is precious. But Welcome to the new Ireland of Freedoms , where you are free so long as you dont interfere with the liberal agenda .
I support cultural awareness education in primary and secondary schools. I agree that continental languages such as French, German and Spanish should be taught after class 3. Continental life and customs can be learned through language study - just as in secondary schools until 1971 the study of Latin gave students glimpses of Roman civilization. I believe that development education encompassing cultural and economic awareness of the third world and our responsibilities has a vital place in children's education. DevEd has been done at both primary and secondary level. Political education as such can be gradually introduced through civics education in the Junior cycle of secondary school. In general children begin to notice and wonder about party politics around the age of 16. The transition year is an opportune stage for teachers to help their students to ponder the party system.
No to blatant EU propaganda in our primary schools. Just the basic information about how the institutions of the EU "function" in neutral language at a later stage in their education. I.e. secondary school.
Pumping our innocent kids with one sided propaganda so they become mentally unable to see alternatives to the increasingly corrupt, economically neo liberal, authoritarian and militaristic EU in their thinking later on when they grow up, is not on.
I think you are very correct and deserve to
be supported.
