For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

National Parents Council bash the teachers

category national | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Thursday January 29, 2004 23:17author by Phelim Murnionauthor email phelimm at iolfree dot ie Report this post to the editors

Parent teacher meetings

The demand of the National Parents Council that teachers be available in the evenings has nothing to do with Parenting and everything to do with the new Amercanised workplace where we live to work rather than work to live. Definitely more Boston than Berlin.

Once again the National Parents Council lines up beside the right-wing government to bash the teachers. This time they condemn teachers because they won't work late hours so that parents can finish work and then attend meetings.

Let me see if I get this right. It is too much trouble to get a half hour off work to oversee the education of your flesh and blood ( as opposed to say visiting the bank for yet another loan). And this is proposed by the National, wait for it, "Parents" Council!
Shouldn't that be the National Worker Ant Council?
I'm not alone in giving out that the PD's (with only 8 TD's) are running the country. It's worse than that; they're running the culture. This is indoctrination at a level that would cause envy in Herr Goebbels. I thought we worked to live ... ?

Speaking as a Parent, I am formally resigning from this particular club.

It's ironic that the nearest topic I could find to categorise this story was "Consumer Issues". Has even Indymedia been corrupted ...
