"The claim is that Irish children were taught to hate Britain through feeding children lies"

No Jim that is not "The claim" as you put it, that is the claim as you perceive it. Go back and look at what was actually said.

"Not surprising when generations of school children have been brainwashed to believe Britain should be blamed, keeping hate alive."

Culture of "blame" - "heroes" and "villains" - it most certainly does keep hatred alive - worked for you didn't it Jim. Had you looked at that documentary about the IRA's border campaign of 1956 to 1962 you would have heard the reasons what brought the "volunteers" to join the IRA - you'll soon find out that Louise Richardson was not alone.

There again you never did get back on whether or not it can be considered acceptable for a government to dictate what history is taught and what slant to put on it. But that is what the government did in Irish schools after independence.
