The portrayal of Irishness in the textbook reduces cultural richness to mere stereotypes, diluting identity in the name of promoting 'diversity' and 'inclusion.'
Most parents, trusting educational institutions, remain unaware of the restrictive narratives in textbooks, which can influence their children’s understanding of culture and identity.
Introducing concepts of 'gender' and 'diversity' through SPHE classes often overlooks the nuanced realities of Irish culture, instead offering a simplified and unappealing version.
The aim of SPHE to promote growth and understanding among students is compromised when it presents Irish identity in such a stereotypical manner, misrepresenting the true depth of experience.
