"The tendency, apparent in the syllabi, to study the history of Ireland in isolation was still an issue in the 1970s,""
That has no connection whatever to teaching children to hate Britain - none whatever - it talks about the scope of taught history, that is what "ISOLATION" means, not what was or is being taught.
Britain has been accused of the same, as has many countries - only teaching their own history.
The section you have quoted both in Kineally's article and the recent one, which uses the same sources, refers to The Free State Period.
Irish children have never taught to hate Britain, as you have suggested - not even in The Free State Period.
In the period referred to, British were being taught to pity those who were not 'lucky enough' to be born British – we were still singing hymns about it in the 1950s in our school in Liverpool
That is another disgusting racist smear.
"On the subject of Irish schools teaching "Nationalists myths" as factual history"
Free State history - Kineally, of all people, blames Britain for the Famine - why should she describe it as "Nationalist Myth"?
Both she and your article deal with Irish history chronologically and I have headed in my extracts from your article - Free State then Irish Republic.
Does your hatred of the Irish have no depths that you can distort your own cut-'n-pastes?
Finished with disgusting aspect of your demeaning of Irish children.
