An Irish evangelical Christian schoolteacher who was jailed for breaching a court order following his refusal to use gender-neutral pronouns, has had his bid to prevent the school from continuing his suspension rejected by a judge.
On Sept. 5, Enoch Burke was jailed after he defied a restraining order that ensued from a dispute with Wilson’s Hospital School in County Westmeath, Ireland, over a directive to address a student by the pronoun “they,” citing his devout Christian beliefs.
