Are his beliefs that random men should be allowed hang around the entrances to schools they've been fired from? No, he just wants a platform for news coverage, he could get that by protesting outside the court house, or proselytizing in a street in any major town. He didn't even get suspended for not wanting to use the new name, he got suspended because he was following the principal around after a meal and wouldn't stop nagging her about the topic, when he was told they could talk about it when they were back in work. Other staff at the meal had to physically stop him following the principal around. Was he following her around to talk about his beliefs... Yes. Did she want to talk about them, no. Was he suspended for those beliefs? Or was it because he was actively harassing co-workers? When he was in the joy, the other prisoners complained about his behaviours. It's not his beliefs that are getting him in legal trouble, but his choice of actions. There are plenty of places he could protest... A school full of children is not one of them.

The school mission statement. Christian practise and teaching? I think not.....

Since when to schools determine what is a man and what is a woman . He's dead right and you know it ?

Any contract or ethos or code of behaviour is subject to the law of the land, which demands the right of free speech, which in turn denies the imposition of compelled speech. As in this case.

What about a Contract fundamentally discriminating against religious beliefs?

@@gerrygrimes8689 Enoch and his family share these beliefs, but only Enoch is suffering consequences, because only he committed trespassing which is a crime

Just so, John - suspension from your workplace means precisely that - no contact, unless conditions under that suspension are excepted, ergo, meeting with School Board Officials to discuss the aforementioned suspension &/or disciplinary guidelines that may be enforced or relaxed...WHS have made no such undertaking, therefore Burke's daily presence prolongs his contempt of court, & with that an escalating financial penalty.

He's explained that the suspension wasn't due to commence for a month. What's your fucking problem?

@@coolmacatrain9434 So he should be allowed to continue to verbally and psychologically abuse and harass a minor because he has a religious beleif?

And he was right to ignore frivolous unlawful orders.

He wasn't even suspended for refusing to refer to the student by their preferred pronoun. He was suspended for aggressively confronting a staff member at mass.

That's not exactly what happened, but it's close. He threw a tantrum and became verbally abusive to the school principal. He tried to force her to rescind the request to refer to the trans student in a new way. The issue wasn't even a personal issue. He took exception to this being the policy of the school. He took exception to other members of staff complying with the request.

You are missing the fundamental issue .

Money. Right wing religious nutjobs will love this.

More people will fight back and stop pandering to these mental cases.

It's like those nature documentaries where there is a massive heard of Wilder beasts waiting to cross a Crocodile infested river . Then one just dives straight in on top of the Crocodiles, giving the rest of the heard the courage to plough through the river. Enoch is the first Wilder beast.

Most likely to get attention and at some stage write a book or something about this that he can peddle off.

No one will ever hire him after this.

You can tell by looking at him he's not the full shilling either.

But the child isn't special either. Call me by my made up pronouns because I am special

Well if he did that then yes then he should be punished(although I don't know if losing his job was suitable as a the punishment unless its a pattern with him). But I do think that freedom works both ways and he shouldn't be obligated to call the student a he or a she if he goes against his moral and religious beliefs I think it's unfair and morally wrong tbh.

There are millions of Doctors, Nurses, therapists, and yes. Teachers. Who leave all there personal beliefs and shit at the door. Do the job and remain professional. He can have his beliefs people are not saying he can’t have his beliefs. He is not innocent of a crime he violated a court order and harassed the principal of the school.

are you serious and he still went out his way to be an arse. how pathetic

No, but he made an effort to find, bully, harass and psychologically abuse the student anyway

@@verduoh i feel immense pity for the student in the middle of this!

@Ben Flynn - Transgenderism is child abuse - connected to pedophilia, ritual child abuse

HvntD0WN-These-Trans_FREAKS-pedophiles

& that's the whole point, Ben....he's denying everyone else's life ethos - their rights are as inviolate as his...

The school is a Christian school - so he feels as though they are promoting false doctrine and interfering with his faith. Dont profess to be a christian school if you dont practice what you preach.

Yeah, but "feelings" have no place in law, Happy Channel, because they're not facts. His religious beliefs have not been impinged - rather, the opposite - his doctrinal zeal is promoting a dictate on the very beliefs Burke holds; he's being punished for his behaviour in relation to the law, which, if you consider the edicts of religion, preach tolerance, respect & humility to alternate perspectives; it is not for the school to lay down any other regulatory mandate, other than to educate & maintain a level of discipline & behaviour that is concommitant with every individual student's wishes, including the demeanour of the teaching staff; hell, he wasn't even teaching that particular child...& if you look to the recent history of the school, there was another child a few years previously who was also transitional - Burke never made remonstration in that case; it begs the question as to why he did not....so before you start eliciting judgement upon this educational establishment, I might suggest you look more closely at the Burke family ideology & the countless confrontations they've implemented upon the local community they reside within....

@Darren Not according to the pope anymore!

@Darren many religious people identify homosexuality as a sin, none of them are in prison for this pov. If they use it as an excuse to commit crimes such as trespassing like Enoch has it wouldn't matter what religion they are, they'd face legal consequences

@Darren you're counter example is literally every bit as extreme as the comment you're replying to. LGBTQ representation doesn't interfere at all with someone's personal Islamic or Christian beliefs. No one is forcing anyone to be LGBTQ but merely accepting their presence. This has no impact anyone practicing their own religion.

What was he fired for by the committee hearing, share the reason?

LOL. JP another goofy martyr.

Yes he is mentally fooked but does he have a right to stand his ground maybe not legally but morally possibly

Just like the hard-core indoctrination going on in the schools today where you dare not have a far lefty liberal outlook , this is government backed indoctrination and some of the disgusting pornographic children's books promoting trans and lqbtquppite+++%%% (hope I got them all in ) in school libraries amounts to child grooming, but its OK when people you agree with are doing it Right??? Hypocrite .

I feel sorry for you pandering to transgenderism. What a sad world

Moreover, their grasp of scripture has huge holes in it; They're highly legalistic, a sign of toxic teaching in a church (although as you point out, I think their church was mum & dad) They suffer from Christian exceptionalism

Non binary is not trans.

He is not forcing his beliefs on others,he has a right to his own beliefs…and I applaud him for it..👏👏👏😊

@@well-8814 why? its clear from this video alone that he's a weirdo

Surely not a rebel but a conformer. Wants only to conform to the way of life in Ireland as it has been for 100s of years. A traditional 2-gender Christian society speaking English as its main language. The rebels are the parents & their child, the school management & anyone supporting them in ytheir attempt to upset the status quo. No wonder Mr Burke was upset whilst trying to make sense of the madness being imposed - I would only wonder whether he was the only teacher or staff member disoriented by this pronoun nonsense? Or was he the only teacher or staff member with the principle and courage to speak up? Sounds to me like this woke outfit were trying to cancel him. Being ignored would wind up anyone trying to make sense of a workplace trying to gaslight & dismiss a highly qualified teacher. I believe it was constructive dismissal accompanied by stress of being gaslighted, ehich Mr Burke should have taken straight to the work tribunal. Maybe he still will. Which, unless the work triibunal has also entered into the insanity that is being woke, will find he was entitled to continue in his religious & English usage, with compensation for the Kafkaesque madness he was put through.

Why would you say that ? It all started when the student and the school borad tried to force compelled speech on Mr Burke, which was wrong. Science and the Facts proves that there is ( Only Two genders and you cannot change your gender ).

Is he writing a book?

You'll change that opinion real fast on judgement day and on your deathbed. You're evil and need a saviour called Jesus Christ.

I agree with crux of what you've said but would not denigrate his views even though I disagree with them. Some people do not understand that you must leave some of your religious views at work when you walk through the front door.

@@przemyslawskoczylas5183 You could try learning what transgenderism is. That's a biological phenomenon.

If I continued mocking religious students in school that their god was not real, after I was told by my superior to stop it, what would happen?

@@moloids Mocking any student is harassment, this is comparable to simply telling the student you don't believe in God and won't pray. He wasn't going ''HAW HAW you think you're a hermaphrodite lololol'' to the student, he just didn't want to participate.

gender identiy isnt a religion and thats not why hes in court hes twisting the narrative to look like a victim😑😮‍💨 if he acted as a professional adult he wouldnt be in this situation. no-one said he had to like the kid human decency would have been enough

@@emmamccarthy5014 gender ideology is a religion I guess you haven't read any of the books on the topic.

You have to leave a certain amount of beliefs at the door of your workplace. That's how life works Nat Hat. Say I'm a devout Catholic rather than a somewhat practising Catholic. Say I start to take the evangelical side of Catholicism really serious. Say I start trying to convert people at work? Say I'm a Muslim. Say I see some women not wearing the proper Muslim attire at work and start telling them what to wear? What happens in either circumstance. Sure, both are probably worse that what happened here. However, you cannot truly practice every aspect of your religious life in most walks of society because you risk offending somebody. Work is an excellent example especially where one's views are devout or extreme.

They are trying to kick God out!

A child at his school thinks he's non-binary or something, and the teacher refuses to call him by they/them pronouns because that's just a stupid fucking thing to do. He's in the right and the child and his parents need to cop on to themselves.

The LORD will bless those who stand for HIM and respect and keep HIS commandments. Enoch Burke has taken a stand for the Word of GOD. This country (and indeed the world) has and is falling into the pit. The written Word of GOD (as recorded in the Holy Bible) is clear - God created MAN and WOMAN in HIS own image. The devil is a liar and the father of lies. The Holy Bible tells us that the devil (Satan) is the god of this world and that - following the fall of humanity in the garden - the world has been given over to the devil and those who serve him. Soon, the promised return of Jesus Christ will come ... only this time He will not come as the suffering servant, but as the King of Kings and He will rule with a rod of iron. He will remove the wicked from high places and exalt the humble. He will establish HIS kingdom upon this earth for 1,000 years. Before that day comes, the world will witness a great falling away from the faith (belief in GOD) and great darkness shall come upon the land. The end of days is upon us ... and the signs of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ are everywhere (wars and rumours of wars, plagues, pestilence, severe and extreme weather events, and the love of many growing increasingly colder) as Jesus spoke about (recorded in the book of Matthew, chapter 24). Jesus said there would be mockers and scoffers in the last days, whose conscience has been seared and whose hearts have been hardened toward GOD. For this reason (we are told) GOD turns them over to their own vile affections: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. " - Romans 1;26 Look around and you will see a world that has turned its back on the teachings and commandments of GOD. A world where we celebrate SIN and condemn and ridicule righteousness. You must choose which side you will fight on - because this is a battle between good and evil. Our "leaders" are corrupt. Our world is falling apart. Our children are taught there is no God. Our daughters are taught to choose to kill a baby in its' mothers womb when circumstances are not convenient or cost of parenthood is prohibitive. Our sons are taught there is no hope and that life is cheap and we wonder why they choose death (suicide) over life. The Day of Judgment is at the door. Who will YOU serve? GOD or man? Here's the GOOD NEWS if your heart has not yet hardened toward GOD... There is the promise of everlasting life and forgiveness for YOUR sins and it is offered to you this day through faith in Jesus Christ. Accept YOUR need for a saviour. Believe Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and raised again into eternal life. Call upon the LORD and YOU shall be saved from the judgment to come. Only believe. Only Jesus (the Son of GOD) saves. Be blessed!

"i need a bigger notepad"

Agreed. However non binary is not trans

@@Lala-kc2fw this is actually a common misconception! The simplest definition of being transgender is "Identifying as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth". Since "nonbinary" is not usually written on birth certificates, nonbinary people do automatically count as trans. And within the trans community, this is generally accepted as true.

@@zolfjustice in my opinion. I disagree and don't accept non binary. A lot of people are confused with non binary and trans as seen in all the reporting of main journalists around Ireland on this issue. Transgender/transsexuals have been around for thousands of years and should continue. But non binary has not, only since the rapid expansion of social media. Saying that there are infinite genders then claiming to be part of the Lgbt community is not good. Many trans people also accept that non binary is not real. Although, unfortunately they are labeled as terfs or biggots.(Only seen this on the Internet though)

@@ChristianBiker777 you reckon once you get to those pearly gates, Gods going to personally thank you for preaching some dipshits interpretation of her words in the replies of a KZfaq comment? Even ignoring how shitty your message itself is, surely there’s more effective ways to preach it?

this fine is because he continued to go to school even after suspension, regardless of the kids problem, he broke school policy. he was still being given full pay too. he didn't have to like the child just being appropriate in class is all he had to do . besides he only got suspended when he publicly humiliated the kid in a church sermon in front of EVERYBODY and then went on to targeting the principle for allowing the student to express themselves. he only got brought to court after trying to enter the school and teach class MULTIPLE times during this suspension, not because of his attitude towards the kid but because he violated school policy.

What's sad is how Ireland has, for many decades, been a country with many suffering lives of quiet desperation. No longer. While I respect people's right to express themselves religiously, he's also a teacher at a school where an older child is trying to discover their gender. He picked the wrong profession in the wrong country if he's not willing to be a little secular and leave some of his views at the door. When I go to work, whatever my beliefs, I have to leave some things at the door otherwise I justifiably get in trouble with HR. That's how life works. If he doesn't like that he can go find a school that shares his values and teach there.

That's what I being saying all along the parents of this student should see a psychiatric doctor also

It appears he needs the mental help by the looks of it. 😬

poor Enoch needs help, his mother has him twisted

Yes it is. Transgenderism is inherently Unchristian and abominable. Enoch refused to accept it because of his religious beliefs and was suspended for it

@@sl_721 He wasn't charged for his religious belief. He was charged for continuously showing up to the school despite being not to do do, and speaking back to the judge in court.
