Protest to proceed tomorrow at St Stephen's Green The full text of the High Court judgment in the O' Cuanachain case was due to be delivered tomorrow 27th April. But they chickened out. Would this by any chance be connected to the forthcoming election? You can bet on it. It would have been interesting to see what form of casuistry they had come up with to justify this callous and discriminatory judgment. To recap on the facts, the government have spent 5 mllion euro on defeating Sean O' Cuanachain's parents in the courts in order to prevent them from securing a teaching method proven to work with children with autism. Mary Hanafin has claimed that the Dept of Education's preferred strategy is to rely on what she calls an 'eclectic' approach. This actually translates into dumping autistic children into mainstream schools where they are entitled to a derisory maximum of 5 hours resource teaching per week. For the rest of the time the children must be fitted in as best they can by teachers who often have over-sized classes to deal with anyway. One professional psychologist has accused Mary Hanafin of substituting opinion for science. |
