He claims his incarceration arises out of his objection, on religious grounds, to comply with a direction from the school to call a student, who wishes to transition to another gender, as “they” rather than “he.”
In light of the fact that Mr Burke was refusing to comply with a valid court order, Mr Justice Dignam declined to release him.The judge said the school will be closed during the upcoming holidays, so the court will consider submissions from the parties on whether Mr Burke should be released from Mountjoy during that period.
He said that he wishes to leave prison with his position that the orders against him are wrong and a breach of his right to religious freedom “wholly and totally vindicated”. He said he had only been given short notice of the court’s direction for him to be returned to court and he complained that he had not been told in advance why the judge wished to address him. He also asked if there was some sort of ulterior motive for this.
Lol 😂
Help this family fight our corrupt judicial system. Its not about religion
A family of loony loopers, wonder who from the school initially interviewed him for the teaching post
He's been in jail for almost 4 months without trial. Whatever case he has to answer needs to be expedited before the court. It is unacceptable that someone can be jailed without charge or trial for so long (and I am not a fan of him or his causes).
And all because school put 12 year old who wants to be a addressed as she them a 12 year old ...i admire burke for sticking by his beliefs rather than be cowtow to wokes and snowflake bord of management... i wonder if teacher was muslim wud school adopt same attitude
Christmas Dinner in solitude.. It's a Wonderful Life..
Why offer this guy anything.
Some man for one man.
He will win his case and they will have to apologise.
Accept the woke TV watchers!
Guess who'll be watching The Great Escape this Christmas
This gobshidt and family need to be ignored.
When did we get conditional contempt in this country and back into prison in the new year. What a joke. Fair play to him. The judiciary is worried because nobody can look at this situation an say justice is being served. Out for xmas next week, pedos, murderers and druggies
I tell ya what, this fellow has to be admired for his stance on his own beliefs. History will make him a hero and I can see a movie being made of his life. Again, courts picking on the little man. Had he borrowed millions and went bankrupt he wouldn’t even have visited a prison.
Awwww
That woman has too much control over her poor children.
Giant bellend
Grand so!
This is not fair, we need some form of amnesty for the other prisoners. They don't deserve to have their Christmas ruined by this absolute attention seeking clown.
How did this man ever become a teacher 🤷♀️🤦♀️
He will be like Brooks in Shawshank by the time they eventually push him out the door.
Barrel of Fruitcakes ?
Just leave him in there at this stage
Oh no he doesn't.. pantoseason
Fella can’t stay away from children, should be locked up
