I have no words.
Actually I have many words. I'll share them when I calm down.
I know in the future people will look back on this in the same way we look back at the 1960s when a number of politicians defended corporal punishment in schools.

Who in good conscience can argue that this is the correct course of action? #edchatie #equalrespect
Primary school teachers want a school system that is 'inclusive, equitable and reflective of the diversity of our pupils', according to INTO General Secretary John Boyle rte.ie/news/education/2025/0…
Listen back to today’s Newstalk Breakfast, where @David0Graham from Education Equality argued that while children should learn about religion at school, it must not be presented as fact, as per the status quo, where teachers are expected to indoctrinate. #edchatie #equalrespect
Should children be taught about religion as if it were fact?

Good to see this topic being discussed as many parents are not aware of their right to withdraw their child from religious indoctrination in schools. The Dept of Education needs to stop deflecting and take responsibility for how state-funded schools behave in this area #edchatie
A Dublin school has said it will review aspects of its ethos statement following a message circulated to parents noting all pupils are required to attend religious ceremonies.

A few photos and videos from Tuesday evening's launch of "Classroom Hero" by @David0Graham. Special thanks to Chris Joyce, Aoife McMenamin, Simon Lewis and a 'little hero' for an extraordinary night.

For whatever reason there are a number of journalists writing about letting their kids "make their Communion" even though they don't believe in a god. They probably don't see how this might influence others to do the same. Here's my response:

If you have a child opted out in your class, or if you don't have a child opted out in your class, I'd recommend attending this launch and getting your hands on this excellent book

‘Classroom Hero’ is the perfect book for children who have to “opt out” of religion/religious indoctrination at school. Highly recommended!
