If you are in Ireland and ignore this, you are complicit in the abuse of children. Ireland has a bad history with abuse and the Irish seem to be happy to allow it happen all over again.
100% transgenderism should not be let near children, all that LGBTQ stuff should be banned from schools, impressionable children should not be exposed to stuff that is deliberately trying to influence them to further there own gain.
Will Burke protest on behalf of the 2,395 children (now adults) sexually abused by 884 individual abusers at 308 schools operated by 24 different religious orders? Not a criticism, but an observation / question. Is religious people's focus on transgenderism and LGBT due to the collective / guilt over the realisation that clerics abused children of Ireland on an near industrial scale for decades if not centuries. What Burke and other religiously conservatives appear to be involved in, is a witch hunt, looking for the outside threat, when in fact the threat was, demonstrably, from within. I've no doubt Enoch Burke sees himself as a good Christian, but he also at the same time, copes with the knowledge that religious orders and clerics of all cloths abused children and got away with it for many years. How can one see oneself as a good moral Christian and know this happened, to me Burke's protest seems like deflection, - "no it's not my community's fault, it's pronouns, books, men marrying men, not the fault of the religius orders". I think there needs to be more self-reflections, understanding and forgiveness, rather than burying guilt and venting it inappropriatly.
@@RavenWolfDrum69 Ahhh....but sometimes "fear" is what is needed to wake up the sleeping masses!! "The further society drifts from the truth.....the more they will HATE those who speak it!" Fact.....
If my child attended that school with that lunatic hanging around I'd be calling the police. So he literally goes to the school everyday for 6 hours and just stands there. Where he doesn't even work anymore and this was a year ago and he's still doing it. I'm so glad he's now been arrested. He's delusional
@@axelfond8317 Are you happy that your child is beening taught if he want to become a girl or if your daughter is ask are you still happy to be girl or do you want to be a boy. I don't think it's up to a teacher asking any child if they are still happy in with their bodies. As they get older it should be discussion with their parents. It shouldn't be a teacher asking anyone children if they happy beening a girl or a boy , it's not a teacher job. J
@@KathrynLyon Hi Kathryn. I'll be your corrector for today Let's begin. So the school isn't teaching this. The parents have requested that the school refer to their child as the term in question. The principal emailed the teachers and requested that they adhere to the parents wishes Enoch is the one that was having this discussion and causing all this fuss You seem to be in agreement with me over this So Kathryn it seems you have mistakenly supported someone who you thought was standing up for his rights but was doing exactly what you wrote. It's not his job. His job is too teach, agreed Kathryn.
Police like the Germany nazi Gestapo. The depravity of Western society overpasses any limits. 😢 From Romania suport for Christian people . God bless any people who are standing up again at satanist homosexuality.
Just to let you know, a major government report was published last week that showed over 2,300 children (that we know of) were sexually abused by 884 individual abusers at 308 schools operated by 24 different religious orders in Ireland. This after earlier reports of hundreds of Catholic priests abusing children emerged about 20-25 years ago, whose abuse was covered up by the church. There's now an enormous feeling of collective guilt over these revelations among people of faith in Ireland, and the phenomenon of Burke I think stems from this; how can Christians feel good about themselves yet at the same time they know this happened? This is why there's deflection. It's a way of psychologically coping with the knowledge that there were vast numbers of children sexually abused by clerics of many different cloths, for decades if not centuries, which in turn resulted in a rapid decrease in religiosity in Ireland, church attendance dropped massively since c. 1995. There's now very few who chose to become priests, overseas priests from Africa are now brought to Ireland to fill the gap. In turn, those who remain steadfast in their faith tend, in my experience, to be more religious than before. I attended Catholic seminar on exorcism (I'm atheists but my girlfriend at the time was religious, I also never impose my beliefs on others, so I attended and didn't criticise). It was run by an American evangelical Catholic, this wasn't something I ever saw Irish Catholics involved themselves in before.
@@JoanOhare-ty9mm Think of all the children who are missing out on the solid teaching this teacher would deliver. Shame on the school and it’s leaders who are supposed to uphold Christian values
Never mind Christian beliefs.. just basic common sense that children shouldn't be allowed to take chemicals to alter their body. These decisions if made should be left until adulthood. People should be accepted regardless of how they want to present themselves but children shouldn't be able to make to take such drastic action that affects the natural growth of their bodies.
Great, and now what. We go on with our lives like this is old news. That's the big problem. We've become... too comefortable. No one wants to fight for anything anymore. I have MAD respect for this guy.

@@gerardflynn7382 When laws become criminal they are to be ignored and repealed. If you think not using pronouns that lead to a teachers removal from a school are just you need to rethink your moral compass.
I seem to recall that up until very recently most people in Ireland were eager to speak negatively of this morally courageous man because that’s what the establishment encouraged.
I'm so glad that my children are reared and independent. I feel sorry for the parents and their children who have to face this nonesense. Shame on Ireland and its Government.
Dont you dare put shame on Ireland. Put it on the government all you want but not my country. The Irish people represent Ireland and most would have simmular views to Enoch

They have "Bent the Knee" for Political favours or something alike. They are Reprehensible, and I hope the Owners or Managers Of the School Kick Them out and let Enoch go back to work. Down with Lgbtq, it is Immoral.

You had better pick a side, and it better be the one that will guarantee you don't go through the same treatment simply for holding a belief, regardless of what they may be.

@@esmeraldaoreilly5945 good idea hopefully he sees your comment. He would have lots of concerned parents put their children there knowing that they're not going to be brainwashed.God bless
Quoting Orwell does not make it de facto, N c...& precisely what "Truth" would that be ? In the same manner that Mr.Burke denies Transgender ideologies, equally, it is questionable as to the provenance of the Bible; religion, after all, is a man-made construct - there is no irrefutable evidence that either God or any angelic entities made visitation to this Earth to instruct humankind in the way of their lives; it's hyperbole. As per the law across the globe, religious orthodoxy confounds that 'truth' (you) speak of, bringing about disconcert amongst members of the human race. For a man from such an ultra orthodox religious background, I'd consider a little more humility & good grace (as per the aforementioned book) he so engenders; & to be unequivocal, the Burke family court public controversy as the shyte on a bluebottle's arse. On one salient point we may agree upon: There's entirely too much narcissism on both sides of this dispute 🤨
Enoch is completely within his rights and I support him and his family 100% Ireland 🇮🇪 is becoming a joke . The system is broken and flawed and Mr Burke needs to be heard Loud and clear ...let's all stand with the burkes as united we stand
No. Jailed for refusing to obey the rule of law. He does not get to chose which laws he will adhere to in a democracy. There are plenty of rules I disagree with but I adhere to all. I , as do the Burkes, have the option to take legal redress against any law (which they do not seem to want to do). They do not get to pick and chose which they follow.
@@johnfox4703 It's against the law to tell the truth. He told the truth and that is what broke your precious law. I have many assumptions about you as a person, none of them good.
This is very serious, He is fighting the compelled speech brigade. A child dictating how he should be addressed by his teacher. The Teacher Union should be fighting for him and so should every parent.
Why should they? Hes an arrogant nutcase who thinks hes above the law. He was told to stay away from the school and he continously breached this instruction. Hes making a complete show of himself and no employer in the country will touch him.
@peter oreilly Actually it’s this teacher and others like him who look like members of the compelled speech brigade in the way they seem to be trying to dictate to other people how those other people should refer to themselves.
You'll find that, like every other institution in the entire western world, the teacher's union has been well and truly captured by Common Purpose "Graduates" (useful idiots) who serve the globalist, totalitarian agenda that's behind all of this.
A small minority should not rule the majority. This is happening all over the world! People can believe & address themselves however they wish but, NONE should be forced to participate in their psychosis!
Your comment is somewhat skewed. You are using an assumed position which is that the majority in Ireland are against allowing an individual the right to decide their gender. That assumed position is clearly false given the referendum votes in the last 15 years. If you except that the majority position accepts this then it is you and the Burkes who are attempting to force a minority position on the majority.
Essentially he couldn't take the money but then not do the job. It was not about his religion at all, he signed a contract as a teacher to comply with their ethos and any directions they gave. He refused a direction that he was given and they had the right to terminate him.His religious issues were considered private and by taking the contract he was committing to fulfil his duties regardless of his beliefs, or he could leave his position.
@@joebloggs430 A very sad state of affairs that people would have to fight to defend science against an agenda that denies science & biology, claiming it IS science & biology.... & then use religion as the scapegoat to achieve their agenda & ultimately it is the children that suffer & everyone is so programmed, they fall in lockstep.... But here we are.
@@John-fz6bw sorry making no assumptions. The referendum votes are a matter of record. You may not like the outcome but in a democracy majority rules. If you cant abide by those rules you need to move somewhere that suits your beliefs or use the tools available to you to legitimatly challenge the outcome. It is noteworthy that the Burkes have made no indication they are challenging the dismissal or taking legal redress. They appear to be attempting to railroad their view over the majority at local level. I wonder why?
@@Padraic125 what exactly are you ‘standing up’ for? Why does it concern you that a student is transgender? They were born that way, it is their business, not yours
@@natedogg5708 I understand your point, teenagers are not fully mature and their personality will change a lot, but one thing is certain: the way to go about that is not to insult their entire existence and make them feel like they don’t have the right to be who they are.

@@joebloggs430and so you have personal knowledge that this contract said he must refer to this particular student as they / them? No school or contract gets to control the tongue of another person. This is nothing more than radical left wing American trans ideology bleeding into our country.
@@joebloggs430 but we can't ignore the crux of the issue. The reason for his dismissal was for not referring to a student by "they". That's compelled speech and rips at the very foundations of which our society is structured. There is a huge difference in saying you "cannot" say something, and you "must" say something. I don't think people are fully appreciating the severity of creating this kind of precedent
@@olympicpip9235 Not true, the crux of the issue was his refusal to fulfill his contract / duties, and his abuse of the principal of the school, and his behaviour at the School's anniversary celebrationsn, and his refusal to deal with his issues in an appropriate and professional manner, such as through Union representatives, and instead launching a one man crusade against who knows what, but making sure to make himself a martyr to his unspecified cause . It is his claim that this was because of his religious beliefs, we don't know the real reason, and his claim does not make anything a fact.But let's take his argument that he should not be required to recognise transgender persons because of his religious belief.To take that position on religious grounds is therefore religious persecution of transgender persons. As a teacher it is an abuse of his position.You can't have it both ways.

Enoch is standing up for ALL children. I hope he is receiving support from other Christian groups, from Muslims, from people of other faiths and none . At the very least he is raising awareness. Are parents kept informed about policies being introduced or is it a case of 'Not up for discussion ' !! ?
Well done Enoch. . I was on hormones (ftm) Im Christian now and off the poisoin. Were being lied to. Thank you to this man for doing the whole of Ireland a favour know it or not he's right and the bible is the absolute truth.

Are you aware that we have laws in Ireland that are created at government level? You can't just declare that laws exist and magic them into existence. We already have existing laws governing workplace relations and transgender rights. The courts have already decided that Enoch was breaching certain laws.
