Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

He’ll keep turning up until he’s jailed again, or until Issac gets himself kicked out of whatever it is he does, and they need someone to hold the box at his circus.

The cheerleaders don't care for the man, just the cause. They'd probably love something worse to happen to him so they can obfuscate and say he was a victim of western liberal beliefs rather than his feckless behaviour

It isn't just teachers, I remember this case with a Garda Sergeant convicted of assault. She lost her job initially.

It was overturned because apparently it wasn't explained to her properly why she lost her job. Em, it's because you are convicted criminal? You are supposed to be catching criminals not become one.

What sort of grown man needs his daddy to drop him to work? Did his daddy drop him to work every day before he was fired?

What an utterly horrible and contemptible man he is- and one can no longer separate the man from the actions or beliefs. Defending him at this stage is beyond absurd as there is an unhinged and damaged mindset driving this behaviour. There is no reasonable 'cause' to fight for in this particular way; the chap is sick in the head. And yes, its the mother's fault, mostly. Walks like, talks like, looks like a Duck, etc etc

Instead of hand wringing and brow-furrowing, the Unions could do the profession and themselves a favour and outright condemn this behaviour and declare him the contemptible asshat that he is. Arrest him and seize assets. Leave the kids and teachers in WHS alone at this stage.

Ah no, I'm sure he is just there to pick up his stuff, not make a scene and leave quietly with no fuss.

Can we change the thread title to "creepy man hangs around school"

I was just thinking for all the people who say he should keep his job, at this time it's a moot point.

I knew he would show up to school again

That was 75% of two years salary. If enoch got the same it would be about 75-90K. Quite a lot of money but not really when your teaching career is over.

It'd be easier to just fire him and let it go to WRC where any case would get fùcked out due to Burke's Circus rolling up to proceedings.

People thinking the Burkeys would get anything from WRC is as deluded as he is.

You'd think he'd be inclined to drop the whole martyrdom stuff after he was jailed before and interest/support for him dropped like a hot stone. He's now made himself look even more unreasonable and he and his family showing themselves up as performative arseholes who were clearly looking for anything to throw themselves at in this way.

Whatever little public support they might have had before is only going to dwindle based on his most recent actions.

Martyrdom is the driving force behind it all. It's the reason for all the theatrics. His strain of Evangelical Christianity isn't out to convert people to their cause - they believe in pre-destination, that it is already decided who will be saved in the final judgement. What does matter to them, however, is the visible and unrelenting battle against what they see as the "forces of Satan", that is anything that goes against their very strict and literal interpretation of the bible (even other Christians). Being unpopular, losing a job or a court case or being jailed doesn't matter - in fact, they're badges of honour - because they firmly believe that they are fighting a war on God's side, and that their victory is inevitable.

Here's how Burke signs off his introduction to his 2020 self-published book "The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: The Truth of Scripture":
