The Irish teacher will spend Christmas in the hoosegow because after being fired for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns he continued showing up for work.

In the famous words of Daffy Duck:

Breitbart: A man who has been in jail since September will reportedly spend Christmas in prison after refusing to refer to one of his “transgender” students using their preferred pronouns.

Enoch Burke, a teacher from Ireland, had requested to be released from prison ahead of Christmas during a sitting of the country’s High Court on Tuesday.

Burke had initially been jailed back in September after an incident where he reportedly refused to use a “transgender” pupil’s preferred pronouns, which eventually led to him ignoring a court order that he stay away from the school he taught in.

Although the teacher reportedly claimed that the order flew in the face of his religious freedom, the High Court reportedly refused to consider this line of argument, before ordering that the teacher be jailed until he purges his contempt.

So far however, Burke has remained steadfast in his claim that the court order violates his religious freedoms, with the Irish Independent reporting the man as asking the sitting judge to release him in consideration of the religious significance of this time of year.

“I would beg of this court to free me from this prison,” Burke reportedly told the court, insisting again that the court’s order that he stays away from his school flies in the face of his religious freedom as guaranteed by the Irish constitution.

“I believe in the courts system and I believe in the administration of justice,” he remarked. “But when I am commanded by the court to accept an order that denies me my religious freedom, I cannot in all good conscience comply with that.”

“The fact of the matter is I was requested by principal Niamh McShane that it was expected of me to participate in transgenderism and to call a 15-year-old boy ‘they’ or ‘a girl’,” he continued. “It is something I cannot do in all good conscience as it goes against my religious beliefs.”

“I am not a thief. I am not a murderer. I am not a drug dealer. The reason that I am in prison today is because I refused to leave the school I worked in when I was suspended solely on account of my religious beliefs,” he went on to say.

The judge refused the request. The court told him not to go to work. He went to work. So the court is attempting to sidestep the religious freedom aspect of the case and focusing solely on the “you didn’t do what we told you to do” aspect of the case.

But the case isn’t even a case if his religious freedom wasn’t being violated.

This man is being used as an example.

Back in the olden days, they’d execute enemies and/or criminals and then place their head in a public place on a pike as an example or warning to others. If you cross us or the law the same will happen to you. This is similar.

This is head on a pike politics. If you cross the LGBTQ agenda you will pay a price. They may not win the court case eventually but they’ll win the politics because people will then be too scared to cross the LGBTQ agenda.
