09/05/2001 Entry: "Irish Schoolgirl Stupidity."

I wonder at what age Irish kids learn about the U.S. Civil Rights movement.
At the very least, some protestants should start paying closer attention to their own rhetoric:

Martin Luther King was once imprisoned for leading a civil rights parade against segregation in an area of the South where racist views predominated. He stood not for the rights of blacks, nor for the rights of whites, but for the civil liberties of all Americans, of every race, creed and colour.

Like Martin Luther King we have taken the stand we have on behalf of all the people of Northern Ireland, Protestant and Catholic, who have had enough of terrorist-enforced segregation, of being ordered around by sectarian IRA and UVF gunmen and bombers. We want to reach out beyond the sectarian divide, to break down the walls of segregation that cause so much misunderstanding and hatred.
