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.

That's extremely smart of him. The only way they'll get away with their shit is if it goes by unnoticed, because the majority with a brain understand that this is crazy.

Edit after reading the replies to this post: Ugh I've gotta stay away from politics completely, this world is doomed either way.

There's an old saying about staying out of the kitchen if you can't handle the heat...

You intend to apply heat?
Get up in peoples faces?
Bother them at restaurants and gas stations?
Well is that it - punk?

@Vin53 I was more thinking about the saying don't toss pearls before swine.. but you know... we just don't see the world the same way.

I was also leaning towards don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, but I guess we have opposite viewpoints.
