Enoch Burke was arrested by Irish police at Wilson’s Hospital School in County Westmeath today on Monday refusing to abide by a court order instructing him to stay away.
The school board had dismissed Burke from his post after a dispute over his refusal to recognise a transgender student’s new identity.
Burke was brought to the High Court in Dublin on Monday evening, where a judge ruled that he was in breach of the existing court order, and was to be returned to Mountjoy Prison.
Burke accused the court of denying him his religious rights, which included his belief in two genders, male and female. “This is a mockery of justice,” he told the judge.
I’m not sure where this conversation is going, but neither have shot anything up and this guy is going to be the next right-wing darling.
He is a far right political extremist. (Right or left doesn’t really matter here, only that he’s politically extreme.)
He’s also religiously conservative.
He was terminated for harassing a trans (or non binary?) kid.
He was presumably told to not return. He returned anyhow, or there was otherwise sufficient cause for a court to order him not to return.
Be returned anyway.
I’m saying this guy is a walking rack of red flags all of which suggest his attempt to gain entry wasn’t for peaceful purposes.
