A photo of Irish primary school children, originally posted by Gemma O'Doherty, has been picking up attention in the United States.

The photo shows a group of school children in Longford, approximately half of whom are brown or black.

It was subsequently tweeted by conservative vlogger and actress Ashton Blaise Whitty, with the caption: "This is an elementary school in Ireland. Within a decade I guarantee the Gaelic language and culture will cease to exist."

White supremacist Richard Spencer then retweeted it.

Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this story and more in our US slot.
