Wahhabism in Willaston - surely some mistake

The good children of Cronk y Berry School in the Willaston area of Douglas (if the Manx papers are to be believed) may need to be prevented from exposure to Wahhabism and such like austere aspects of Islamic doctrine during RE but in Ireland children are made of sterner stuff and are on the march imbued by a desire not for spiritual fulfillment but to save the planet.

Green News ie reports:

“Secondary school students across Ireland have called for a mass protest next month to demand Government action to tackle climate change and our growing emissions.

The protest is planned for 15 March to coincide with a global day of protest known as the School Strike for Climate Action.

Possible measures that the students are considering include striking outside Leinster House, in front of school gates and outside local government buildings.

The action comes on the heels of last month’s Children’s Rally for Climate Action held outside the Dáil, where hundreds of young protesters called on immediate action to address climate change.

Students inspired by 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg have also started gathering before political institutions across the country every Friday to demand a stronger commitment to climate action.

Schools in counties Cork, Wicklow, Dublin, Kildare, and Limerick have already signed up to take part and organisers are hoping to expand into a Schools’ Climate Action Network.”

Footnote: I understand Gary Roberts recent call for recruits was for the ‘Specials’ and not for Mutaween (look it up) to man Willaston Police Station.
