Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking

Do they reckon they'll be spending a lot of time hanging around outside here?

Looking forward to that episode of Reeling in the Years !

I wonder which Burke is up next to be sacrificed on their parents alter of righteousness. First Ammi had her career trashed, now Enoch. Once he fades from the spotlight will the parents get another child to destroy their careers.

…yep, school no longer have a relationship with him or responsibility for him -

This teacher is no more! He has ceased to be a teacher of Wilson’s Hospital.

'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX- WISLONS HOSPITAL TEACHER!!

Has he filed his appeal yet?

Tomorrow is the last day he can AFAIK.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least if he didn't appeal the dismissal. Why would he file a appeal over a decision that he is pretending didn't happen? Appealing it would mean admitting that it is real.

If any posters here are within a few hours drive of Wilson hospital. Could they make Enoch some soup and sandwiches? I wonder what type of sandwiches he likes?

I was thinking poor auld Enoch is showing the same level of fortitude that Irish political prisoners have shown in the past.

But obviously the main difference is Enoch has not brought it to a life and death point - as yet. I am not sure he can because I assume a hunger strike and potential dying of same - would be a sin in the eyes of God?

There is no way this fella is going to give in with his protest from Burke's point of view it is a spiritual. political, workplace, and judicial wrong.

It has got me thinking that very few people in society these days would literally put their money where their mouth is.

To have some follow through and stick to their principles. I still think the way he has gone about things is incorrect. But one thing is for sure Burke does have the courage of his convictions, not many people can say that. Maybe ironically the transgender student, who bravely fought against social norms. And has shown their own courage of their convictions.

Burke is similar to the Irish Republican martyrdom complex with it's mix of passive aggression and direct action. Will Burke end up losing all sympathy, or even gaining some over time from those who were ambivalent or on the fence?

I think this situation is ripe for a film or play. McDonagh could do it. Brendan Gleeson the voiceover narration of Burke's internal thoughts. And Colin Farrell playing the forlorn Burke, standing outside the school gates.
