TD: “CLIMATE ALARMISM” IN PROPOSED SCHOOL SYLLABUS “HORRIFYING”
A proposed Leaving Cert plan which would see students taught how to “effectively organise” around climate issues and study the “tactics” of “activists” has been described as “horrifying” by one Roscommon-Galway TD.
Michael Fitzmaurice of the Independent Ireland Party was responding to a story published by Gript this week, which outlined how the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) has released a draft “Climate Action & Sustainable Development” specification document for the Leaving Cert curriculum.
The proposals – which are out for public consultation – aim to help “students become effective organisers of collective change” regarding climate change by having them study topics such as “lobbying”, “civil disobedience”, “boycotting,” the “tactics” of “activist” groups, and more.
However, reacting to the draft, Independent Ireland TD Michael Fitzmaurice said he “could not believe what I was reading in this document,” claiming that “it is absolutely scandalous the way people in departments are trying to get into the minds of youngsters in a bad way with the proposals that I have seen.”
He want on to warn that teaching students about tactics such as “civil disobedience” could lead to young people engaging in the destruction of private property as a form of protest, as has been seen in high profile protests by climate radicals such as Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.
“CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE HAS BEEN MANIPULATED BY CLIMATE ALARMISTS TO EXCUSE THE DESTRUCTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY”
“The document advocates for ‘civil disobedience’ in combating climate change,” he said.
“And in what appears to be becoming a common trend for this government, what is quite an important phrase, goes undefined and is open to interpretation.
