The claim
Ein Lehrer wird in Irland verhaftet weil er nicht die Transideologie anerkennen und lehren will.
Original publisher’s rating
Enoch Burke wurde verhaftet, weil er gegen Gerichtsentscheidungen verstoßen hatte. Er kehrte wiederholt an seine Schule zurück, die ihn erst suspendiert und später entlassen hatte, obwohl ein Gericht ihm das Erscheinen dort verbot. Die Affäre begann zwar mit einem Streit darum, wie ein Kind in dem Internat angesprochen werden wollte, doch das war nicht Anlass der Festnahme.

The review says Burke was arrested for violating a court order barring him from the school, not for his views on gender. The dispute over how to address a student was part of the background, but the court proceedings concerned his repeated return to the school despite the access ban.[S1]
Additional context
The review reports that Burke was first arrested and imprisoned in September 2022 after a judge ordered him not to enter the school grounds. It says he was arrested again in September 2023 and, after further violations, sent to prison again in September 2024. [S1]
