Re: Gaelscoil bid to keep English out of class
By the way, I notice that her family name is characteristically Gaelic, and so is the name of her party, the Fianna Fáil.
Aptrgangr asked me the other night what would be the Greek word for "self", in an attempt to give self-hatred a label name in the line of xenophobia (hate for the foreigner). No idea what the Greek word for "self" is, but I thought that the Greek word endo (within, inside, inner) would be appropriate here, as I could confirm when I saw the word endofobia (endophobia) being proposed by a known Spanish sociologist.
So this is yet another case of endophobia.
