A teacher imprisoned in Ireland for his reluctance to adhere to transgender beliefs in the classroom continues to stay behind bars this year*. He’s now spent over 500 days at Mountjoy Prison, in Dublin.
In one video, his mother confronts a senior clergyman of the Church of Ireland. She challenges Bishop Martin Hayes, asking, “Do you think the parents of this country want that taught to their children in schools, that you can change your gender, Bishop?”
Bishop Hayes expressed disgust at being “doorstepped” as he was questioned outside a supermarket, refusing to answer their questions. The video has been seen over 65,000 times so far.
*A change was made here to suggest during this year, not for a whole year, and to remove the word “held” from the title, as stated before.
