Faith-based schools should be forced to teach pro-choice and gender ideology, according to a report by a group of Irish NGOs submitted to the Council of Europe.
Published on Friday by the Irish Observatory on Violence Against Women, it says the lack of State control over school curriculums is perpetuating gender stereotypes and gender inequality.
The report says that with 90 per cent of national schools under Catholic patronage, the State lacks “full control” on the implementation of the national curriculum, which means “some schools may be excluding topics such as abortion, same sex relationships and gender identity”.

Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it, for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.
St John Chrysostom
Remember, then, that you received a spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear. Keep safe what you received. God the Father sealed you, Christ the Lord strengthened you and sent the Spirit into your hearts as the pledge of what is to come.
~ St Ambrose
