When it comes to religion in schools, pupils deserve an objective, pluralistic, and objective approach to learning. It's not about removing Christianity from a new curriculum, it's about not indoctrinating children through religious instruction in any new curriculum.

This is today's news from Belfast. The funding of white supremacist terror by @cooperationirl.bsky.social and
@seupb.bsky.social - A million pounds of public money to armed active groups that are using criminality and violence underpinned by racist, sectarian, fascist ideology to exert control.

Three different articles on the BelTel alone today, showcasing appropriate anger at PEACEPlus (the EU programme) and Co-operation Ireland for financing proscribed organisations, specifically the South East Antrim UDA, that was behind the Ballymena race riots in June.
Splashing a million pound of our money on a gang of thugs is beyond sick
Public services in Northern Ireland are collapsing, and we’re constantly told there’s not enough money to fix them.
