Irish White Privilege......Yeah

From post #1 - August last year...

"The National Council for Curriculum & Assessment (NCCA) released a new draft for the secondary SPHE curriculum that wants “white privilege,” “male privilege,” & gender ideology taught to Irish kids. In the draft curriculum it urges children to recognize their “privileged status” as a “white, male or Irish person,” & while telling them to seek positive portrayals of “LGBTQI+” gender identities in media amongst other things."

So here we are nearly a year later and I'm curious to know what's happening with the implementation & acceptance (by parents) of all this, as quoted above? Are parents protesting or are they accepting the teaching of .…

In all upcoming elections vote for candidates that will get rid off this sort of nonsense.

White privilege in Ireland a country opposed for hundreds of years, give me a break.

And male privilege? Tell that to the women in my family and they will laugh at you. They are doing very well for themselves.

As for gender ideology, well it’s quite simple imo. There are only 2 genders or sex they are male and female.

Don’t follow America on all of this, it’s a farcical mess over there. And getting worse. Stand up for what you know in your heart is right.

yeah would you ever go and fook off for yourself and take that American bolloxology with ya.

I have told my kids to tell anyone that pedals this shyte to them that they have Mayo generations in them, a county that had the attached tag "Mayo God Help Us".

A county that was the worse affected by the famine and subsequent emigration which now means most families have distant branches throughout the US, Canada, UK and Australia/New Zealand.

And they got SFA given to them when they got there.

They worked hard for everything they gained.

So they can shove their white privilege where the sun don't shine.

I was happy to have Kellie Harrington as a positive role model but then the media decided to cancel her because she shared news of a horrific murder in France and we can't be having that

So many of the posts here seem to be written by the same person, even though they are from different posters:

'Irish white privilege - dont make laugh….. yada yada yada ……woke b********ology….something something"

Yeah, maybe OR maybe there's a majority of us still uninfected with this malaise.

The actual real multiaccounts are all busy on the refugee thread earning their daily bread reposting shyte and denying reality.

Ah now - I wasnt saying they were multiaccounts. I know you are a real dude Packrat.

I've no idea, I don't keep up to date with secondary schools curriculum. My post was directed as the other poster who essentially said it shouldn't be taught to 9 year olds. I was just pointing out even if it was being taught in SPHE it would be a minimum of 12/13 year olds.

It should not be introduced at all as a concept with regards Ireland.

The only places it has real meaning is in discussions about US and US history, French\British\Dutch\German colonalism, South African apartheid regime.

It has no place in Irish context and makes a mockery of our history.

The problem is we have been adopting concepts directly from America and some now seem to believe their history is the same as ours.

This is what you get when you don't know your own fooking history.

Of course the clowns that will gladly add this into the curriculum are the very same ones that have turned the teaching of history into an exercise in passage comprehension and joint the dots.

THE CONSULTATION PROCESS has begun on the first major revamp of the primary school curriculum in 25 years.

A key focus of the new curriculum is teaching about difference and understanding other cultures, as Irish schools have become more diverse.

SPHE

Wellbeing will include an update to the relationships and sexual education programme to operate as a precursor to the new Junior Cycle curriculum, which garnered controversy when it was first implemented last September. 

The consultation phase for the proposed curriculum is to be completed by June

We can see exactly how that went in the US and we know damn well it is being pushed over here too. It's only right we exercise caution to protect the children.

In the real world we are all struggling with inflation and keeping all our heads above water.

I have honestly no idea what you're post means.

I'm not downplaying anything. It's a dumb thing to get worked up about, the entire curriculum is not about white privilege, it's confected outrage as usual from one word in a 24 page document.
