Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

They should focus a tripod camera on him, something like David Attenborough would use trying to capture a frog mating. Also it will be interesting to see what he wears now that spring is here. Once he ditches the beanie and overcoat we could see a whole new Enoch spring wear in Dunnes Stores!

I dont think so. I think at this stage they've moved on.

Clearly you dont know whats going on.

Whats not a sacking offence?

Do you not realise that Enoch doesnt teach that student?

Do you not realise that Enoch wont accept his job back unless the entire school refuses to accept/respect the requests of the student/parents?

You clearly know absolutely nothing about what actually happened here at all.

The student had no interaction with Enoch.

This.....this is EXACTLY the type of faffing about and quibbling over how many angels are on the pin head - as a work colleague put it:

so if he steps 1 step further past the gate he can be arrested but if he stands at the gate itself they won’t - jeez - silly legalese makes no sense to the average person - which is why they should just “get on with it” accept that he is not going away and reinstate him so that at least he’s working for the salary he is getting rather than standing around outside.

May be a bit more complex than that.

In her Joe Duffy dial-in some years ago, there was male prompting going on in background.

Of course that may have been God.

You do realise he was sacked! He's not getting a salary and let's face it is unlikely to be hired as a teacher ever again.

What are you on about? How does a perfectly legitimate question regarding the contempt ruling lead to you calling for him to be reinstated? And getting on with it should mean accepting his behaviour? You need to step into the real world here.

He's not getting any Salary because he has been dismissed.

What happens if he is reinstated? How do you envisage that working?

Its not even that. He is demanding the entire school body should follow his religious beliefs and refuse to accept the studenrts request to use a new name and they/them pronouns

To stop accruing daily fines he has to go to the court and purge his contempt. Where he stands doesn't have any impact on that. Now if he does go in and purge his contempt and then continues to go to the school but stay outside of the gate I'm not sure if that would be a violation of the court order or not. It all depends on how it is worded.

This guy, I am just so fed up of seeing his face on the TV and newspapers every day.

How can it be that some f88ker like this thinks he can hold a school up to ransom; and worse still the law can basically do nothing about it.

I'd imagine if I was a parent with kids in this school I'd be actively thinking of taking them out, just because of the inability of the legal system to deal with this ongoing fiasco. At this stage, a long jail sentence would be the best way to end this imho.

The thing about this guy, and about all the social media around him, is that they;ve made the story all about him. There are no other parties in the media narrative. But the thing is, there are other parties - there are kids in the school. there are the families of kids in the school. There are the other teachers, paid teachers salaries, who are not equipped or trained or paid to have to deal with this crap. And then there is the wider public who have to put up with the guy being featured day in day out on the national media.

You clearly dont know anything at all about what happened here.
