Things that make you go What the F**k?

[Milltown Row2]

Have to admire the man for sticking it out. His beliefs are obviously extreme compared to the 2025 Irish norm, but surely there has to be something that should have been done to accommodate his issues with the situation that caused this.

How so?

He went out of his way to confront a trans child whom he never taught to impose his religious views on them and to complain to the principal to the schools support of the childs use of pronouns.

Everyone is entitled to their own views and beliefs but once that impacts on others then he was bang out of order.

I could never agree with his delusional religious beliefs. Nevertheless his stance about not using preferred pronouns to accommodate a delusional student will be supported by larger numbers than you think.

In life you need to accommodate every now and then, this comes with jobs as well, you can still have beliefs without being a p***k. Calling students delusional speaks volumes on how you live your life

I'm always amazed how these "Christians" never seem to quote the new Testament.

I'd say the Jesus fella and his "love yer neighbour" would be far  too "woke" to the Burkes and their fellow travellers.

The smart alec remark above re. Jesus is despicable - Mods please take note.
I'm sure you would not be as quick to disrespect certain other religious leaders.

Why is it that these same folk never seem to criticise or mock Radical Islamists?

Did the whole sorry saga not begin with the pronoun bit? if not then tell us all the facts.

You reckon they don't? I'd say if you think 1 form of religion is fictitious, there's a v good chance you think all are. Like, can someone believe in jesus christ and not in any other of the gods? All in or not surely...?

The pupil had nothing to do with him - they weren't in his class - why would he care about their name?

No not really. It started when the principal offered to discuss the matter at a time that wasn't at a public event and that wasn't considered good enough for Enoch. He got  so aggressive that others there had to intervene and hold him back. Anyone who thinks this is an acceptable way to speak to your boss is a bit of a knob.

He was not "sacked for refusing to use pronouns", despite what morons on twitter say. It never even got that far. The school may have been supportive and understanding of his views, we will never know...

That still sounds like the initial matter was about the pronouns and then everything else followed after?

It's clear that he was sacked for the stuff that followed after. I'm not defending him btw just trying to get the exact origin of the saga and how it all snowballed from there.

It's not that hard to figure out really. Ireland is a country dominated by its Christian history. This is an Irish discussion board full of Irish people. People tend to be drawn to and discuss topics that are closer to home and their lived experience.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

He hasn't been sacked.
He's still getting paid by the school.

How many Christians do you walk past on a daily basis? How many churches? How many do you see on the news?

Now, how many radical Islamists do you think there are here?

why is the school still paying him?
