Jailed Irish Teacher Refuses Student’s Pronoun Demands

Enoch Burke is a devote Christian teacher at Wilson’s Hospital School, Co Westmeath, Ireland.

According to their website, “As part of our High School exchange programme, this school is located just over one hour from Dublin, this 7-day boarding school is a place of personal development where students pursue their studies and form lifelong friendships in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.” Wilson’s is associated with the Church of Ireland.

Burke was put on paid administrative in late August for refusing to address a trans student as “they.” A disciplinary meeting is scheduled for September 14th.

Despite an order barring him from the campus, Burke continued to be present at the school resulting in his arrest for breach of the order.

Personally, I admire the teachers moxie. I also refuse to enable the WOKE.
The non-binary crap is stupid and encourages wrong behavior.

@Vin53

the breadth of his intellect

Focus like a laser Vinny.
The topic is not any aspect of the author.
It is about the actions of the teacher and the school and police.

All caught up?

Aren't you supposed to be the "party of law and order"?

Is disregarding a restraining order a crime, yes or no.

Especially an order that tells you to stay away from a kids school.

@Vin53 Now, that is a far better argument than the other.

So, let's suppose the school was on fire, or on other danger, should Mr. Burke shrug his shoulders and walk away cuz they told him he's not allowed there?

Or, should he try to save as many kids as he can?

Yes, because THAT is such a poignant analogy...what is wrong with you man?
