“Everybody wants to have compassion at the heart of the education system but we also need common sense,” the Meath West TD said.
In response, Mr Varadkar said the Aontú leader had referred to “transgenderism” and was not sure what he meant by the term. “I think that when it comes to education, when it comes to children, parents and schools have a duty to inform young people about the world around them as it is,” he said. “It just makes sense to me that if you want to look out for children and prepare them for life and prepare them for the world around them, you don’t shield them from the reality of people and how they live their lives.”
It's ok, The muslims aren't happy either & he will care about that. now. The pro Islam woke crowd with rainbow hair won't be happy. I see Marg lou is trying to straddle the fence between
This traitor can only survive on stoking division!!🐀
Way too late now he started it we will finish it
You mean awake and asleep 🤪
You mean the war that he played a major role in starting?
Sure the woke are already fighting their fellow woke. You have the lgb fighting with the lgbtqabc and the 3rd wave feminists fighting with the trans eejits. They're cancelling each other left and right. The anti-woke are the truth seekers and we're laughing at them all.
Try woke and AWAKE.
One of the most disturbing aspects of woke ideology is it’s success in undermining science. We have been here before. In the Soviet Union science was subservient to the official ideology. Due to crazy but ideologically correct ideas about crops there was a disastrous famine.
Too late... and you're gonna be toast. You seem to have a penchant for pervs in frocks.
He means stupid and anti stupid
Hopes? We the people are bringing the country to a standstill
Good thing Ireland is still a homogenous society with culturally modest views. The rest of the western world is toast.
Says one of the main instigators of it 🤦♂️
Then don’t import wokeness.
Trans do exist, we know it. No need to bring this as a subject in primary schools.
Too late the Gender Recogition Act which was kept form the public was the importation of the culture wars. We women are now “woke” to the trans right activism which targeted our children’s health, women’s sports, women’s prison and the very word woman. AGP males are not women.
Why can't he stick to what he good at oh wait what is that I wonder
Not a hope
Wokeism is a new religious cult. It has Original Sin - being born white, Revelation - Critical Race Theory, Repentance - shame at being Western, an Inquisition - cancel culture, An Elect - sexual and racial minorities and Salvation- the destruction of Western values.
Says the man who has no child of his own. He would be well advised to stick to matters that he has experience with like ruining the Irish housing system and stop interfering with matters that he clearly hasn’t a clue about. Maybe that should in fact include housing.
lyndakennedy Nope. Debates need to happen and every voice must be heard.
Varadkar declared a culture war on the Irish nation years ago
The media and politicians for the last few years brought identity politics to Ireland which is now leading to civil war we are gone past culture wars that’s happening on the streets of Ireland we are at a point where all phobias now are clashing
Only a matter of time before this starts happening here too
Why does he want to get rod of women's sex based spaces?
Bull shit , division is the tool of these soulless husks
Is he for real?!
Simple, he should resign. That'll be a great start
How dare he call me unnwoke because I want foreign men vetted first before being allowed into our country . Or I’d like my primary age kids to not have his transgender agenda shoved down their necks in school . I decide when my kids will learn this, not this incompetent tool.
A cynic would remark that it appears only one side gets heard, while the other side gets cancelled and censored.
No he doesn't, he encourages the opposite as he depending on 'culture wars' to deflect from his policy of homelessness
Not my Taoiseach
Haven’t a clue what he’s on about as usual. He’s be better asking why hospitals removed the elderly and dumped them in nursing homes with no medical care to die alone at the start of the pandemic. That’s what running a country looks like.
Well when two gay men are behind promoting sexual content in schools how can we not push against it
No can do.
It just never stops , but going after our children is the rock you and your minions will perish on !
While pushing woke trans nonsense in schools. This translates to 'don't put up a fight, let us get our way or else you're the problem'.
LeoVaradkar Which side is it that is pushing for paedophilia grooming explicit books in primary schools ?
He started it.
TOO LATE AGAIN!
Starting to hate all of their faces and I'm not right leaning. But yet they're pushing me there because of the far left leaning, undemocratic, unmandated and unimportant policies they're pushing. The've gone the right way about creating division.
Think the government need to back down now before it gets messy!
So shut up and accept it or be labeled far right? Ok got it
He started it.
The culture wars have well and truly begun . The proposed idea of warping the minds of young children in primary schools to the wave of woke nonsense will be the final straw for many. When this happens, I would prefer to be on the side of sanity and good.
Paul Pot hoped he wouldn’t have any opposition too. Him and Leo are like two peas in a pod.
Common sense my ass, this is an ideology that has no scientific basis.
Too little too late created the situation with your liberal anti biological woman policies so there is the door and shut it after you.
Says the lad out snogging someone other than his partner in gay pubs. Which side is he on?
LGBWithTheT LGBWithoutTheTQ AffirmationGeneration The Lies of Transgender Medicine reveals the push to medicalize non-conforming youth, exposes the damage already done and warns of an epidemic of medical malpractice to come.
The 3% ^^^ well 3% without , counting the placebo .
Avoid? It begun years ago. It's ramping up now as the general populace are becoming more aware of 'woke idealism' that is fracturing the fabric of our society. It begun with 'Terms of endearment' being 'outlawed'. And has now progressed to the Transgender ideology.
I think he needs to work on the Homelessness First because that's the most important thing in Ireland right now!!! Anyone can be homeless..I believe he is just putting up a smoke screen to cover up how badly he is running this country
LeoVaradkar housing and heatlh, your legacy will be determined by the success or failure of these services. It ain't looking good.
Culture wars? I wouldn't call the erasure of womens rights,child safeguards,mass undocumented immigration and a homeless crisis culture wars! It's called human rights!
That ship sailed a long time ago.
Wishful thinking from the man that is trying to destroy Ireland's culture
Coming from one of the main antagonists?
Too late. They snuck in the GRA bad have refused to allow any debate or conversation.
What he actually means is 'Stop talking about the stuff we've been getting away with, will you?'.
Culture war is already in full operation and this man is the leader of a party that crossed the initial start line. Again hypocrisy and Varadkar go hand in hand.
Bring on the culture war, gay men and woke women are ruining our country
Oh like vaxed & unvaxed 😂
Well then stop pushing your lgbti propaganda on our children, you creep
Hopefully Irish people will keep following the science ie there are only two genders, men cannot get pregnant, men don't have periods.
Homosexuals and degenerates really have no place to tell parents how to raise children, these people willing embrace a lifestyle which is anti children so why are they making decisions for normal people
Won’t happen - as the streets hate the whole stuff the woke represent - it’s counter culture
He's a disgusting creep😡
How can he not know what transgenderism is and that it is a belief system separate from the people who believe in it?
He can avoid the war by stopping the unscientific BS this government is pushing on to the public that a man can become a woman, and stop listening to the paedophile supporting party
Noncesense
That's a thing that's going on between me and my life partner for over 30 years now. As you can see, it's 1am. I am woke now. She is anti-woke, probably in REM, at the moment. In 5 hours, she will be woke, and I shall be anti woke.
The choice between being twisted and crooked over being normal, natural and untwisted. It's a natural choice for a natural person.
Botox is falling apart on the LeoTheLeak 😂
He means alien wars. He is like that weird Pharonic thingy in Stargate & the Crying Game. Wants us to play his Pyramid games. The best Irish defence against Cromwellian forces is to turn inward . Remember these creatures . Teach your children about them . Plan their destruction.
Election please
Varadkar started the culture wars in Ireland.
the time of no debate is over..
Nope, not a chance. They brought this to us, they snuck in the GRA without proper consultation and debate. The government and NGO's created this problem.
Ahh the woke culture all suffering from mental health issues
Taoiseach no one wants
oh god pls no
The Irish instinct for a purity test followed by condemnation of the sinner is strong. It’s dressed up in different rituals and a different lexicon now but the psychology is very very familiar
Too late and you are central to causing it.
In his dreams
We already have it, Leo is on the Woke side
It’s common sense and anti-common sense. 90% of the country are on the common sense side! Good luck Leo 😂
Science and make believe you mean. And anyway, I taught that wasn't what woke meant, make your mind up Leo the langer.
'Culture Wars' in Ireland consist of a dangerous minority of woke politicians, NGOs, media and university types who are trying to force dangerous policies that have damaging implications for Irish society & children against the wishes of the majority of Irish citizens 🇮🇪
But he's inciting them. As are the NGOs to whom he has given €BILLIONS of the nation's wealth. Nothing he says is worth a damn, is it? Totally dishonest. Nothing honorable or admirable about him. A pathetic little man.
Is this clown for real? The 'war' usually starts when people start pushing 'gender ideology' and other dangerous nonsense on people's children and society in general; exactly what he's currently trying to do.
anti woke? you mean sane ?
There is no middle ground here...
Don’t swing the pendulum then it won’t swing back. Unfortunately we will go through the same chaos as UK and the US. We take lessons from the bluntest of knives
Go woke, go broke Absolute nonsense the whole lot, stick with common sense
Bit late for that. He means he hopes the woke consensus across parties and mainstream media outlets will succeed in repressing Ireland's largest minority, if it is a minority i.e. the people who think transgenderism, untrammelled immigration, and 'anti-racism' are bullshit.
Well, we know which side he's aligning himself to.
The Irish people have rejected the trans ideology and will not see their children brainwashed by evil.
You can start by moving this man and his rapist mate out if the limerick women's jail.
Disingenuous creep.
Same old rift, those who agree with the government and those who don't(the designated bad guys), this applies to nearly every issue that comes up
Hopes
He says this like Woke is good and anti woke is bad.Sums him up really.The whole government is turning on our children in the worst possible way including and especially Norma Foley. We need to be ready to stand up for our children and our freedom
You cant avoid something that is orchestrated from the onset...valid views both sides but very arrogant attitude to legitimate concerns of people who also have a right to a place on the panels who determine huge cultural shifts without their participation.
Avoid the war between woke on woke ie indoctrinate children and no dissent. From the primary school curriculum online booklet ‘Busy Bodies’ published by the HSE.
How about you stop forcing the woke crap into our schools then? Or what you really mean is you expect those against this to simply acquiesce. Not going to happen.
Well, he needs to go so... a general election is needed. He has zero mandate.
Aka, he just wants the masses to accept their bullshite progressive agenda imported from the US.
🤡
It's tough to know what side to take in this debate. Should I be 'woke' (tolerant of all the different kinds of people') or 'un-woke' (a bigoted dick)?
