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.

Listen, if a dude was ordered to stay away from my kid's school and that dude showed up there anyway, I'd want him hauled away and I mean toot-sweet.

Are you aware that kids have been shot at schools??

Isn't it up to the parents to decide who can advise their children as to their self-presentation?

If this dude was coming at this kid with a Muslim point of view I doubt you'd be taking his side.

You're showing your party's rampant hypocrisy bud.

No, I'm showing my compassion for children.
You are showing your complete disregard for them - in typical liberal fashion.

Doesn't the REASON for why he was ordered to stay away mean anything to you?

Thats a matter for adjudication. He was legally ordered to stay away from a residence housing children.

If he showed up there anyway, his motives for doing so could range from one end of the spectrum to the other.

How is this so difficult to perceive?

He might've been there to shoot up the administers who suspended him, its been known to happen and we all damn well know it.

we all damn well know it.

There's no reason for language.

True, letter of the law - he shouldn't have been there.
You ran from my burning building example though - didn't you?

The guy was incensed over the damage being done to children.
You oddly are hiding behind the law on this one.

I get it - you don't give a shit about the kids.

Vin53 · M

meh, you can't get under my skin bud, try as you might, because at the end of the day, we both know who's right here.

Keep your individual crack-pot man-in-the-sky dementia far, far, far away from my child thank you very much.

Pretty sure shit is more of a vulgarity than damn btw.
