There has been a lot of talk recently about teaching 'Citizenship' in secondary and grammar schools in Northern Ireland. This could include classroom discussions on things like politics and human rights in Northern Ireland. Some people are against the idea of teaching this in schools while others are very much in favour.
How much do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Discussions about politics and human rights at school will be too painful for a lot of children who have personally suffered during the Troubles.
