Petition to: Irish Minister for Education Norma Foley, the leaders of of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, and CC'ed to the Ombudsman for Children
Stop Norma Foley forcing trans agenda on schoolchildren and teachers
Stop Norma Foley forcing trans agenda on schoolchildren and teachers
Harmful gender ideology has well and truly breached the walls of Irish schools, and alarm bells should be sounding -- loudly!
Believe it or not, an agency run by Norma Foley's Department of Education has told teachers to avoid using the phrase "boys and girls".
And, the same agency, the National Council For Curriculum And Assessment (NCCA), has also told teachers to introduce themselves using so-called "preferred pronouns".
While so-called "preferred pronouns" and "non-exclusionary language" may seem like small things, these new practices actually amount to the subtle - yet, very real - sexual radicalisation of schoolchildren, which is a gross abuse of authority by the state.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which demands that the Department of Education rescind the NCCA's woke guidance with immediate effect. [NB: This petition will also be CC'ed to the leaders of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and to the Irish Ombudsman for Children].
Let all this sink in for a moment. The new guidance means that Norma Foley's Department of Education no longer accepts the fact that there are only two sexes, male and female, and that we can make distinctions between them.
Moreover, this also means that the Department of Education is now actively and brazenly attempting to indoctrinate Ireland's young people with a scientifically-inaccurate, reality-destroying, and sexually-confused view of human nature.
Gender ideology is designed to destroy objective reality under the guise of "sexual freedom". And, while it might be tolerable for adults to decide whether or not to subscribe to an anti-science, anti-reality ideology, forcing gender ideology on schoolchildren is an abuse, full-stop.
Also, contrary to what Norma Foley may think or say, children do not have the intellectual or emotional maturity to consent to what amounts to radically-sexual adult concepts.
So, acting as their children's and grandchildren's primary educators, it's time for the parents and grandparents of Ireland to act and make a strong stand against the corrupting ideas, politicians, parties, and school boards of management which would seek to harm our children!
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent, reality-affirming, innocence-protecting petition today!
The heedless introduction of gender propaganda to young schoolchildren - cynically using trusted teachers as the tool for delivery - is totally wrong and has no place in Irish schools.
So, it is telling that when called on by Gript Media to answer simple questions about the new guidance from the NCCA (see article below), Minister Foley could not provide a straight answer about whether the phrase "boys and girls" is somehow exclusionary or offensive. She was able, however, to fob off the issue as a matter for individual Boards of managements in schools.
But, the truth is that Norma Foley is just ducking responsibility, as the NCCA - remember, the body advising schools to take this harmful, woke approach - is actually an agency which answers to her!
Ultimately, if teachers who refuse to implement the new guidance in their classrooms are reprimanded or sacked, it is still Norma Foley's Department who is responsible as, again, the NCCA is a body which reports to her.
Act NOW to stop Norma Foley's Department of Education from suppressing the freedoms of speech, conscience and religion of its teachers, and from promoting harmful, science-denying gender ideology to Ireland's schoolchildren.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which tells Norma Foley and the leaders of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael that Irish parents and grandparents have had enough and will not allow their children and grandchildren to be indoctrinated with the scientifically-false, reality-destroying, gender-bending trans agenda. Thank you!

Don't force trans agenda and compelled speech on schoolchildren and teachers
We, the undersigned, urgently call upon Norma Foley's Department of Education to rescind the guidance that imposes a radically sexual agenda on Ireland's schoolchildren and teachers.
This guidance, released by an agency of the Dept of Education, seeks to compel teachers and students to avoid terms like "boys and girls" and to use "personal pronouns".
As the Minister knows, compelled speech is a violation of individual rights to free speech, conscience, and religious practice.
And, as the Minister also knows, children do not have the intellectual or emotional maturity to consent to what amounts to radically-sexual adult concepts.
So, while it might be tolerable for adults to decide whether or not to subscribe to an anti-science, anti-reality ideology, forcing gender ideology on schoolchildren is an abuse, full-stop.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, now demand that this dangerous guidance be immediately rescinded.
We will monitor this situation closely and hold accountable those politicians, parties, and school boards of management which would seek to harm our children with the corrupting ideas of gender ideology.
