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

Yep, I smell another court case by the Burke’s on GDPR. Who knows? It might even be a landmark ruling. They have the form for it!

‘THE OTHER SIDE PROVIDED DOCUMENTS TO US BUT THE PAGES WERE NOT NUMBERED. BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSGRESSION YOU MUST RULE IN OUR FAVOUR WITHOUT HEARING ANY EVIDENCE, JUDGE. THAT IS YOUR DUTY AS YOU SWORE AN OATH TO GOD’

Repeat that for 15 mins before the whole thing ends like a usual Burke family outing. Mammy and Daddy standing well back to let the kids do the dirty work.

I’m amazed at what people get away with in court! I’ve been more times than I can remember with a similar looper and it’s best to just let them have their say and make a fool of themselves. It would be much more efficient if they were told to shut up of course but then they’ll play the victim and claim they didn’t get a fair hearing blah blah blah …. As frustrating as it is, the judges know what is best in the long run. It can be entertaining at times 😂

It looks like the hearing on the injunction against the Disciplinary Appeal Panel is to be heard on Thursday, according to the legal diary. 3 hours.

2023 3330 P BURKE -V- Ó LONGÁIN & ORS. (prov.) (3 hrs.)

They're cutting it fine if this is to be sorted before September and another new school year.

Yes, the members of the panel are Chairperson Mr Seán Ó Longáin. Mr Kieran Christie, general secretary of the ASTI, and Mr Jack Cleary, Child Protection Adviser with the JMB [Joint Managerial Body].

EB objects to the Mr Christie and Mr Cleary as he has said he believes them to be "promoters of transgenderism and therefore inappropriate nominees to hear my appeal".

5 minutes after a Burke enters the courtroom 😂

Seriously though, I think its usually around 10:30am

If he was granted an adjournment it won't be heard until October at the earliest.

I'd hand it over to my French colleagues. They have experience when it comes to dealing with delusional "royalty" 😏

There are arrangements for a judge to be available for the 2 months of the long vacation to hear urgent matters.

JHC. The bigotry is off the scale. With each hearing the depth of it is further revealed... and is more disgusting.

Just on this point - I take it from this that Burke believes teachers should not be supportive of LGBTQ students at all - or at least not recognised for it? (Note, this is not just aimed at the non-binary ones.)

He probably believes LGBTQ or non-binary people shouldn't be allowed teach at all. After all, he did once conflate homosexuality with paedophilia.

Now he is accusing Mr Christie / ASTI of approving the "stripping the rights of parents to raise their 5,6 and 7-year-olds and set them out on gender mutilation and a path of tragedy" by their membership of the Children's Rights Alliance.

I can't.

Where is John Rogers?

It still will not enter Enoch's head that he himself was not sacked because of his views on transgenderism but his behavior towards his boss.

A real sign of someone who cannot ever admit they might be in the wrong.

God guides their every move, and how could he be ever wrong?

Never going to get them to budge an inch when that’s their mentality

No under 18 year old in having gender reassignment surgery in Ireland, in fact no one is, including over 18 year olds, as there is no surgical team here that performs it.

With the Burke family's seemingly endless powers of research, I am sure they're all fully aware of this. Yet they will persist with making claims of stripping parental rights and the "mutilation of 6,7 and 8 year olds" etc. They're full of crap.

Proper medical assessments and counselling is exactly what our National Gender Service is doing. It's not a "fast" process by any means. I can't post links yet, but have a look at their website, in particular the "What To Expect" page. There is currently a 3+ year waitlist for access to a first appointment with the service.

Under 16 year olds cannot yet legally change gender, and 16/17 year olds need to go through a legal process that requires not only a guardian or parent making the application for them, but also a GP and a Pyschiatrist to sign off on the application.

I wonder what EB would have done, if the student in this case had presented the school with a gender recognition certificate and a revised birthcert? Not that anyone should have to go that far in order to have their chosen name and pronouns respected.

I also wonder if the previous WHS student who requested a new name and prounouns in December 2021 did exactly that, as we now know from Principal McShane's testimony that the student in May 2022 wasn't the first student to make such a request. Maybe that is why EB didn't raise any objections to the previous student's request.

You're 100% right. I should have remembered that.
