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.

He was not jailed for his Christian beliefs or for refusing to use the pronouns.
He was jailed for contempt of court for breaching court orders when placed on administrative leave and restrained from entering the school.

"The teacher continued to attend the school in violation of a court-ordered restraining order"

It's not the same thing. If he wants to make a stand on principle he could have continued to do so without breaking the law in contempt of court.

The misleading headlines in these posts and papers are designed to push the outrage button and manipulate. A little fact checking goes a long way to avoid being someone else's stooge.
