Where has any of your historians ever said that lies were told to school children?
None ever have.
Kineally specified what she means by myths - making heroes of John Mitchel and Wolfe Tone without putongt their actions into context - they are her 'myths'
Wat was taught in school was fact - Kineally criticises it for not apportioning blame - which she now does as the critic of her review pointed out.
Kineally is one who blames Britain for the famine and devotes an entire chapter to whether it was a deliberate act.
"It made Prof. Richardson want to join IRA until she learned the truth."
Richardson says no such thing - she said she nearly joind the IRA afetr she ws taught - she never said that what was taught was a lie.
Nowhere is there any claim that what was being taught was untrue - another thing you have made up - the critiscism was that the reasons for what happened wee avoided for political reasons.
This is all totally a product of your sick mind
You said that Irish peole were taught to hate - that is not true
You claim that Irish people hate Britain - that is not true
You have now desperately backpeddaled - first claiming that I made it up, now claiming that generations doesn't mean a significant number.
The only "eminent historian I can find named O'Callahan is an Irish blogger – but there again, anybody who appears to back your claims are "eminent" - you're gong to have to enlighten me on that one
If anything incited the Irish to hate Britain it is the 600 years on British rule, not indoctrination
If I was taught about Cromwell's massacres or Dunlavin Green or the massacre of the camp followers after Vinegar Hill or the genocide of the famine or two two 'Bloody Sunday massacres (Croke Park and Derry) or the mass murder of the Easter Week leaders, or the lies about Home Rule or the attempts to involve Ireland in an Imperial War or the half-century ill treatment of the Catholics of the six counties afer rigged elections, or the beating up of Civil Rights Marchers or internment without trial or the death of ten hunger strikers.... and all the other atrocities committed against Ireland, I would hate Britain -
None of these are lies or exaggerations and they are still being revealed.
It transpires that, when the British Courts locked up the Birmingham Six for seventeen years, the judiciary were fully aware of who did the bombings - English MP, Chis Mullen exposed him in his book 'Error of Judgement' or the Diplock Courts or the rigged enquiry into Derry's Bloody Sunnday.
Now, it transpires, the police were aware of the bombings in advance and could have stopped them
This week it has been announced that an investigation is taking place into the murder of six Catholics watching a football match in a bar in Northern Ireland by two Protestant terrorist gunmen - it is claimed that British security forces were involved - they knew the killers and they knew they were armed and did nothing.
I'll be honest with you, I am not a violent man by any means - I pride myself on that, but if you said some of the things you have claimed on threads like this to my face, I would be very likely to punch you - people like you inspire hatred.
I'm surprised that the Irish don't hare people like you
Yu have behan]ved towards Muslims in exactly the same way as you have the Irish - I really can't see why you have been allows to remain a member of this forum, behaving the way you do.
Now - where has anybody ever said that the Irish education system produced hatred in Irish children by telling lies?
