    Storia di sesta classe

    Ho chiesto scherzosamente a mia figlia se avesse imparato qualcosa di interessante a scuola oggi; "sì, la storia era bella, stavamo imparando l’accordo del Venerdì Santo"cosa? Davvero? Abbastanza impressionato dalla decisione di includere questo nel programma.

      Nitpicking here, but Hume wasn’t elected to the NI Assembly, which didn’t exist until 1973,and didn’t really govern the place until the GFA. He was elected to the Parliament of Northern Ireland. And it implies decommissioning happened in 1994, when it was an issue that the IRA wouldn’t do it up to 2001, 94 was just a ceasefire

      I don’t think they should be sanitising bigots especially at this remove.

      It’s probably the most significant single event in the last 50 years of Irish history. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t on the syllabus.

      So hold on, they just got to describe the peace process and the North’s history up until that point without mentioning SF. No mention of Adams, just completely erased despite the all night negotiations being key to getting the IRA to decommission.

      Holy fucking revisionism batman! I’d expect to see this level of denial and manipulation in a Japanese textbook. But seemingly it’s done here too. Long live Emperor Hirohito!

      Of course it’s in the syllabus it’s a really important part of our history, it was in my school books back in to 2000s too

      1994 wasn’t decommissioning, it was a ceasefire during peace talks. The IRA didn’t decommission their weapons until 2005.

      I think this is a poorly researched piece and has a lot of misinformation. Not great when you consider this is probably about the most significant event in Irish history since 1921.

      They really ought to put the Magdalene laundries/industrial schools/mother and baby homes on the leaving cert history syllabus. I did my leaving in 2018, did history including irish history 1945-1990 and it wasn’t mentioned

      I remember this being in history books for junior cert back in 2003. Maybe not in as much detail but it was definitely in there.
