While the likes of Michele O’Neill and Mary Lou McDonald find new and creative ways to cave to British rule, the bishops have stood up to their indoctrination of Irish children.
The British education system plans to indoctrinate Irish children into their abortion culture, with mandatory lessons on its benefits in schools.
One in four UK Pregnancies ends with the state destroying the baby before birth.
In comments released today, they stated:
Having already imposed some of the most radical abortion laws in the world on the people of Northern Ireland, without their consent, the Secretary of State now seems determined to impose an ideologically biased view of abortion on all schools, irrespective of parental rights or school ethos,” the bishops said in a statement.
This is radical legislation the Government doesn’t even impose on schools in Britain, where the right of parents to be involved in decisions about such ethical and pastoral issues is fully respected.
We call on the Secretary of State to respect the internationally recognised rights of parents, and the principles of consultation and devolution in the Good Friday Agreement, and to withdraw this legislation, leaving it to a devolved Assembly to decide, in consultation with parents and educational stakeholders
Like the recent so-called investigation of the NIHRC into RSE in schools, the Secretary of State is also indulging in a tired and, frankly, offensive caricature of what our outstanding teachers are actually doing in our schools in this area.
Our Catholic Schools’ Trustees Service will be writing to those who carried out the recent NIHRC ‘investigation’ to express the trustees’ serious concerns about the accuracy and fairness of the report.
Neither party took the trouble to engage with teachers in the classroom.
The Secretary of State, and the NIHRC need to move away from their tendency to ideological colonisation in this area and trust parents, teachers, young people and local politicians in Northern Ireland to balance the rights and responsibilities involved.
