A teacher at a school in Multyfarnham, Ireland, has been sent to jail for contempt of court for failing to follow a court order after he refused to use a student's preferred pronouns.

Enoch Burke was suspended from his teaching job at Wilson's Hospital School by an order from the High Court after refusing to address a student using the "they" pronouns, citing religious beliefs, according to RTE.

Burke was arrested Monday at the school after ignoring the suspension and appearing on campus. The teacher told the court it was "insanity" that he was being sent to jail.

"It is insanity that I will be led from this courtroom to a place of incaceration, but I will not give up my Christian beliefs," Burke said after the ruling...

Well this seems to be where we are at.

If one is not on board with all of this transgender business and correct pronouns and over 50 gender identities, one is committing a crime against humanity. !

That seems to be where we are.

Ireland,the land of my ancestors,was once a proud and decent country. But their masters in Berlin gradually tore down that decency and replaced it with German indecency via tens of thousands of European Union laws and regulations. And the Germans are attempting to do the same with several more recent members of the EU...Poland,Hungary,the Baltics and a few others.

ARRESTED?? And excuse me, what kind of grammar are these morons pushing? EVERYONE is "non-binary". Everyone is an individual. The only people who are NOT are conjoined twins. Conjoined people are people who are "binary" unless they are conjoined triplets but we haven't heard of that yet have we. But that's when you use the pronouns "they", "them". But you know, we aren't talking about people who are exactly educated here are we, am I right? Indoctrination into Marxism and insane leftism comes first and foremost.

Evil insanity reigns.

I pray for God to come back every day now. There’s no way we can stop this without wiping out the massive amount of crazy stupid evil entrenched in the world. Wouldn’t be pretty. Wouldn’t have a chance to live peacably anymore.

He’s going to have to come back and put a stop to the collective madness once and for all.

Im on his side, but he was not sent to jail for using incorrect pronouns. He was banned from campus and came anyway.

I hate stories like this. “MAN SHOT FOR EATING ICECREAM” then you read the story to find out he had a gun and was shooting at police after being told not to eat ice cream on the subway.

When things become extremely evil disobedience of courts becomes duty IMHO.

Burke...refused to address a student using the "they" pronouns, citing religious beliefs

How about citing COMMON SENSE??!!

As long as "they" is no longer plural but has become singular, then I guess "using the 'they' pronounS makes sense. Are there more than one "they" pronouns? Or is there just one "they" pronoun?

This is very confusing.

What the elites really want, and they will impose it as a “solution” after a few years more of this gender bending controversy, is to change language itself to eliminate traditional pronouns and replace them with some gender-neutral set they come up with. They will probably even twist some old texts to support the notion that it’s based in tradition, and meanwhile support the notion that we have to “catch up” with certain foreign languages that have gender-neutral pronouns. I think leftists in US/UK have dreaming up replacements for decades already.

I can see him in jail.

Fellow inmate, “What are you in for?”

“I am a teacher and I was told not to go to my school but I went anyway. I was told I was not using the proper pronouns so a judge ordered me not to go to my school.”

Fellow inmate, “You deserve the worst sentence for a crime that horrible.”

German indecency

Ain't that the truth. Germans are champions in depravity.

A grammar violation is unforgivable. “They” connotes plural. A person is singular, not plural.

This complainer needs to be told to cram they pronouns where the sun don’t shine.

Forcing bad grammar can lead to violence and heartache.

Yup,Germans have been trying to destroy Europe for 100+ years.And they just might have hit upon the correct strategy: an East German leader and co opting the sovereignty of Europe's national Parliaments through EU laws and regulations.

Ayn Rand’s “Anthem” comes to mind. No personal pronouns even exist in the English language, as everyone is part of the collective.

Great book…scary that it’s coming true, though.

I guess that would be the ultimate communism, even individual identities divested to and absorbed into the collective.
