Enoch Burke

teacher Ireland

Enoch Burke is a history and German teacher from Ireland who gained notoriety for his legal battles concerning his refusal to comply with court orders related to his employment at Wilson’s Hospital School. His stance against using gender-neutral pronouns for students, which he claims contradicts his Christian beliefs, has led to his imprisonment and substantial fines. Burke's ongoing defiance of court rulings and his insistence that his freedom of conscience is being violated have made him a polarizing figure in discussions about education, religious rights, and LGBTQ+ issues in Ireland.
