'I love my school but I am here today because I would not call a boy a girl':
Teacher who refused to use student's gender-neutral pronouns condemns
'insanity' as he is JAILED in Ireland
- Enoch Burke was arrested yesterday morning for breaching a court order
- The order barred him from teaching or being present at his Westmeath school
- The dispute began over his refusal to address a transitioning student as 'they' rather than 'he', as requested by the student and their parents in May
- He was later suspended, and refused to stay away from the school
- After the ruling, Mr Burke said: 'I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, actions not words, but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl'
Enoch Burke (pictured) refused to address a transitioning student as 'they'
rather than 'he', as requested by the student and their parents in May, and
agreed to by the Church of Ireland school. This escalated to his suspension
on the day before the start of the autumn term, pending the outcome of a
disciplinary process
(wonder what the local plod's burglary success rate is?)
