Enoch Burke, an Irish teacher known for his courageous stance on freedom of conscience, is at the center of a public debate on individual rights and compliance with court orders. Burke rose to prominence after a dispute with Wilson’s Hospital School, where he refused to use a student’s preferred pronouns, leading to his suspension and a series of legal proceedings. Currently, Burke is incarcerated in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin, where he has already spent several months for defying court orders. His situation has become a symbol of the conflict between religious freedom and the law.
