Anyone claiming that Enoch Burke hasn’t been sentenced to life for refusing to submit to gender ideology, but simply for “contempt of court” is dishonest. Here’s why:
Technically speaking contempt of court is indeed the ground the High Court used to lock him up, but this whole case is about him being a Christian teacher refusing to forsake his beliefs by calling students by the pronouns of a sex that they simply are not.
That was what he was fired for by the school. Wrongfully. And Mr. Burke’s refusal to accept the school’s decision and showing up to work anyway, makes him a hero with a backbone. It makes him someone who refuses to just stand by and let evil be done without putting up a fight. That’s why he keeps showing up and that’s why they are now locking him up till he stops doing that.
They want him to bow down, to submit to something he knows to be wrong. And they want the general public to be confused about what the legal grounds are for locking him up.
This shows you that just because something is “legally” justifiable, like the High Court’s decision to indefinitely imprison Burke, doesn’t meant that it’s right.
Burke should be freed this instance, and I hope the People of Ireland will fight for his cause.
To my eye, this is judicial intellectual corruption or usurpation of powers they do not legally possess. USA has similar problems. It’s always a chore to apply laws well, and discussion is often warranted, but authoritarian rulings that bastardize the law harm society for that reason alone, to say nothing about the many other evil ramifications of a grossly unfair ruling like this.
