#296 Education or Indoctrination Has Irelands Education System Lost Its Way?


Listen Later

In this episode, Niall questions Who should be responsible for teaching children about sex—parents or the government? With guest Jana Lunden, they explore whether Ireland’s education system has become a pipeline for ideology and moral degradation.

Some callers strongly believe it’s the parents' responsibility to teach their children about sex. They argue that parents know their children best and should have the freedom to align these discussions with their personal values. In their view, when the government steps in, it risks imposing ideologies that might conflict with family beliefs. For these callers, schools should stick to the biological aspects, while the more nuanced moral discussions should remain within the family.

On the other hand, other callers feel that the government has a duty to ensure all children receive accurate, unbiased information. Not all parents are comfortable or equipped to handle these conversations, which can leave children uninformed and at risk of making poor decisions. Schools, they argue, provide a standardized, safe environment for these discussions, which ensures that every child receives the knowledge they need.

Niall wraps up by highlighting the tension between parental rights and government responsibility, acknowledging that both sides raise important points about the role of education in shaping young minds.
