WOW! A teacher in Ireland has been arrested for contempt of court after failing to use the gender-neutral pronouns they/them for a transgender student!
According to the news site RTE on Tuesday, Enoch Burke was arrested on Monday for breaching a court order which barred him from teaching or being physically present at his school Wilson’s Hospital School in County Westmeath, Ireland.
As a result, Judge Michael Quinn found him guilty of violating an order made by the High Court last week — and sent him to Mountjoy Prison!!
