He said that by agreeing to comply with his suspension would be akin to agreeing with transgenderism.
He claimed the disciplinary procedures against him were flawed and described any allegation of gross misconduct against him as being “ludicrous”.
Burke said the student at the centre of the request was not in any of his classes, nor had he had any direct dealings with the pupil.
In correspondence to Mr Burke, the school denied that anyone is being “forced” to do anything.
The school said that it is focusing on the needs and welfare of its students and is affirming its policy in accordance with the 2000 Equal Status Act of not discriminating against any student.
The school said it has acknowledged Mr Burke’s religious beliefs but expects him to communicate with the student in accordance with the student and their parent’s wishes.
The school says despite his suspension Mr Burke has not been sanctioned and no finding has been made against him.
The next stage of the school’s disciplinary process is due to take place later this month.

Science shows transgender education doesn’t belong in schools
Transgender advocates have a right to their views, but they don't have a right to brainwash our kids with them.

School districts are embroiled in a battle over whether to teach children in grades K-3 about being transgender. Advocates recommend teachers read their young students “Introducing Teddy,” about a boy teddy bear who transitions to be a girl, calling it a “heart-warming story about being true to yourself.”
The books offered to young children make changing genders sound like a cakewalk. Truth is, it’s easier for teddy bears than for people.
For honest answers on what should be taught in public schools, follow the science and the US Constitution.
First, the science: A staggering 99%-plus of the population does not have the physical traits that cause someone to become transgender. People with gender dysphoria — a condition that causes extreme distress — deserve empathy and respect. But only a miniscule 0.6% of the adult population has it, says the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute, an LGBTQ think tank.
A classroom lesson proposed for New Jersey 6-year-olds called “Pink, Blue and Purple” says children should be taught, “You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts. . . . No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal.”
Normal, no. It is a rare condition. Most gender dysphoria manifests in early childhood, according to a 2020 study at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, so guidance counselors and teachers should be trained to offer families help. But there’s no reason to incorporate it into the curriculum, inviting children to choose their pronouns and confusing the 99% who don’t have the condition.
The Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ advocacy groups ignore this science and insist that someone with “boy parts” can become a girl and vice versa.
These groups are teaming up with the National Education Association to steamroll schools into disseminating this false claim, even designating national reading days when school kids are indoctrinated with lessons about transgender characters like “I am Jazz” and “Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope.”
