  1. > “His protest is madness. There is no point. It is detrimental to the students and the teachers. Sometimes I am scared, when his supporters try to film me. I don’t know this man who stands outside my school,” he told the Sunday Independent this weekend.

    > “I have been filmed by some of his supporters leaving the school on the bus. I don’t think I should have to be fearful of leaving my own school. I do not want to be filmed by those people.”

  2. That fact he’s still getting his wages is ridiculous

  3. Just banish the fucker at this point, ship him off to the UK and make him their problem

  4. Didn’t this woman transfer her son to the school after all the Burke stuff went very public? Kind of feels like she’s doing it for attention

  6. I think there is a decent case to be made that his behavior meets the bar for harassment at this point. I’m sure an organized campaign by the students to report him to the Gardai each time he looks at a student, would generate enough pressure to act

  7. So now we have a bunch of freaks hanging around outside a school filming the students. Why aren’t the guards there arresting these weirdos?

  8. For all you “sticking up for his beliefs” fucking headers, remember that there’s an entire school of kids suffering through this narrow headed cunts antics.

  9. Someone should plant some weed on him. Watch the gards spring into action.

  10. Faithful to the Last Will and Testament of Andrew Wilson, made in 1724, Wilson’s Hospital School maintains a distinctive Church of Ireland ethos, fostering Christian practice and teaching.

  11. Is this the child that Enoch rowed with the principal over?

  12. She is not some random mother, this woman uses her son for attention, her actions are well documented. She has friends in NGOs, the media and the Government

  13. The Burke Family aren’t a great advertisement for home schooling?

  15. “The Spiritual development of our students is a core feature of our ethos. Daily assembly features an act of worship with Bible reading and prayer. All boarders attend Chapel Services on Sunday night and all students receive Religious Education.”

    You would have thought someone like Enoch Burke would have been right at home here

  16. Anyone for making him the first citizen of Rockall. Could make him a wee school there n all.

  17. I think now it’s up to the parents. They should ALL call a meeting with themselves and him only, no other teachers, staff, education officials, just the parents and him and tell him they don’t want him teaching their children.

    He obviously has no respect for the law so take the law out of it…parents telling a teacher what it is, no police, no courts, no principles.

  18. Ok so Wilson’s is a bible belting school. I’m sure they agree with Enoch. My question is:
    – is it illegal/ against Dept education rules to go against a students wishes to be referred to by their preferred pronouns?

    I think this whole fiasco highlights how religion and education are not to be mixed.

  20. Is it not faster and “cheaper” to fire him? Even if he then sue? Give him 30k and let him go?

  22. Im just sat here wondering how long it will take Elon Musk to pay some attention to Enoch Burkes plight, would be right up his alleyway. 2025 is gonna be wild.

  23. This is a not a protest. Its harrasement at this point and the fucker is actively going against the court. Honestly, just lock him up and lose the key at this point. The idiot is incapable of learning.

  24. Of all the topics we kick around on this sub, this has to be number 1 on my list for pure frustration and anger. The fact that a ‘man’ can be so defiant to the rule of law on so many counts, to the trauma his kind are inflicting on children, to the fact he’s still getting paid. Pure rage.

  25. The independent doing some trolling in the caption, putting Enoch to the left of the image and pointing out he is “far left”

  26. Let him teach. In a different school with little smartarses who’ll destroy him. Fair play to the kid speaking out in the article.

  28. The kid moved to the school recently the mother knew the burkes were doing this before she enrolled her child.

    Political move by the family

  29. Enoch Burke didn’t have to call that kid by the kid’s preferred pronouns or whatever. He doesn’t have to believe that it’s possible to change genders.

    The protest’s purpose is weird

  30. There are such creeper vibes about hanging outside of a fucking school.

  31. Few lads need to go to that school with a couple of hurleys and clean up the rubbish
