"hate the British" is not a phrase I have used in this discussion.

There is no suggestion in Prof Richardson's article that she was taught to "hate the British" - if so, where is it?

She said, "So we got a very biased view of Irish history which we took as gospel. A very Republican view of Irish history, and that was the view I held."

She said she would have joined IRA in a heartbeat.

"I tried to think in the context of other kids, and who didn't have the advantage I had in getting a (university) education and questioning everything I'd been taught. How they hold on to these ideas and end up joining terrorist groups."

If Kineally ever claimed Irish children were brought up to "hate the British" - where did she say so?

Kinealy states that children were fed "nationalist myths" as history.


O'Callaghan states that the children were "indoctrinated" with "anti-British" propaganda. "Indoctrinated" is another word for "brainwashing" Jim.
