What does Jim Codd think that a “young, insecure and uncertain teenager” who has questions about masturbation should do? Who should they talk to if not their parent, a councillor, or a doctor?
Or is it just that it shouldn’t be talked about at all with anyone? Talking is woke, to be fair.
> Aontú councillor Jim Codd is a religion teacher
Well, that’s all I need to know about this obsolescent fool.
> Aontú councillor Jim Codd is a religion teacher
Doubly unqualified to dictate the content of the sex education curriculum.
>Our children are exposed to much more explicit content than their predecessors, but if the Department of Education thinks it can combat this by sending them home to discuss masturbation with their parents that’s utterly ridiculous.
Seems reasonable enough to me.
Lads, is masturbating woke?
A wanker not wanting to talk about wanking .
is he the milk man from Father Ted(hairy babies)? That’s rich coming from him.
Why do so many fellas throwing out complaints about “woke” ideology look like they’re one more fish supper away from a trip to the cardiac unit?
Who needs a teacher ,I’m 100 percent self taught
##WankingIsWoke
When did having a wank become “woke”?
It’s pretty funny to complain about the state usurping the role of parents in sex education… by telling kids to go talk to their parents about sex things.
Surprised he isn’t warning that it can make people go blind!
Least reactionary Aontú member
Let’s just continue with the Catholic guilt trips about normal healthy activities instead. That’s always had really positive effects on our young people. If it’s not broke why fix it.
Anti-woke is officially rhe new Catholicism. They’ll be developing an unhealthy obsession with children next..
Wait….
>believes rather than teach children about masturbation the Government should be cracking down on tech companies and young people’s access to pornography
Ah yes, the classic either/or scenario.
Cum again…
Anyone else sick to fucking death of hearing the word woke and anti woke..
Culture war be fucked.
So, he’s not a wanker himself.
I had the displeasure of dealing with an Aontú candidate once.
He had a very unhealthy relationship with his “mummy.” A man in his 50s. It was fucking weird. Of course, he wasn’t pro choice, etc. Mummy was his top priority, then religion.
These aren’t people we should take seriously.
Realistically the average 12 year old sees more porn in 10 seconds than I as an 80s kid saw in 10 years (thanks local IRA members kids). Talking about masturbation seems like a non issue to my 50 something year old arse.
Show us your hard drive Councillor Codd
Someone teaching religion trying to paint sphe as a waste of time is gas. We should be getting that out of the curriculum for state schools asap.
Only woke people masturbate. True based people get the real thing.
Just to be clear, he’s not against masturbation, necessarily, he just doesn’t want to dismiss any myths about it. He doesn’t want people to know it’s not bad for them or anyone else, that it’s a completely healthy, normal thing to do with the body you live in and are the absolute sovereign of, and that an immediate endorphin wobble afterwards is just a hormone thing you shouldn’t take to heart or interpret as rational guilt. People can, and will, do it, they’re just supposed to feel bad about it!
Btw did you know masturbating is a really effective, medication free, and very easy way to ease period cramps? Call me mad, but I think an accessible and completely downside-free relief for people’s actual physical pain is a useful thing for them to be aware of.
Talking about masturbation is “woke”. That is rich from the lad making a living teaching about sky fairies.
In the ‘70s they told us it’d make us blind. I think the new curriculum is better.
damn wexicans
I swear, anytime someone uses the term Woke, I immediately switch off.
Damn right Jim! Schools should only be teaching three things – reading, sums, and how to cut turf. Anything else can be handled by the parish priest.
“he has received a deluge of phone calls from parents “shocked” by some of the contents in new materials”
How many phone calls make up a deluge?
Is it more than a flood of phone calls but less than a torrent of phone calls?
Did he say woke or wank??
>A Junior Cert schoolbook which advises teenagers to talk to their parents about the “myths and truths” of masturbation has been described as “woke-ism running wild” by Aontú councillor Jim Codd.
Talking to your parents about sex eduction is now wokeism running wild?
Pure fucking gibberish. American culture wars are a plague on our society

Pull yourselves together.
Topic of masturbation is importnat and it being thought in a controlled environment is certainly better than learning about it from a porno.
Yea its probably going to create some “unease” about the topic but when there 30s/40s something they’ll be able to say, yes we did comprihensive sex ed unlike many people in their 30s/40s now.
I don’t know how sexual health is thought in schools now but pretty sure its on a phased basis which is appropriate.
Oh FFS, now our own gobshites are using “woke” to describe things that make them uncomfortable.
These religious people seem awfully obsessed with the genitals of children.
that’s just nonce-sense!
Hasn’t seen his in years
course a natural wanker would say that.
Fucking hell, he was one of my teachers, barely recognised him.
*”The Woke Left Mafia are teaching kids to give themselves handjobs on Taxerpayers money. They must be stopped” -* A specific right wing rag who’s name dare not be repeated.
Another Aontú gobshite.
This is a weird way to admit you’ve never orgasmed…
I could only dream of having being thought about sex and masturbation in school. My parents were of the age where they didn’t do it and the school had no sex ed other than “condoms are bad and abstain.”
I had to “learn” through friends or blind experimentation.
A small minority actually oppose teaching kids how to be sexually responsible and aware. The same then go on to wonder why kids grow up to sexually stunted adults who don’t know the difference between a urethra or a vagina while getting themselves into all sorts of bother… and not the good kind.
Wexford councilor hasn’t seen his penis due to size of his gut. Jealous of those who can.
Wanking is woke now?
Will these weirdos ever just go get a hobby or something.
“Asked if the contents of My Wellbeing Journey are potentially harmful to children and, if so, how it will affect them, Cllr Codd said: “It will give them a very strange take on things. It will make teachers and students very uncomfortable, and imagine the effect it’s going to have on the doctor’s waiting lists.”
WTAF? Doctors’ waiting lists?
