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”.
