If you wanted to sum up the upper echelons of the British establishment in one word, you may well choose ‘Eton’. The world famous ‘public school’ – which in Britain actually means private, fee-paying school – has educated the wealthy elite for centuries.
Ex Eton College pupils include Princes William and Harry and Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Eton even educated fictional spy James Bond before expelling him.
But now it has expelled one of its teachers – after he posted a highly controversial talk about gender on YouTube. In the talk, teacher Will Knowland told pupils that ‘nobody wants to watch films’ about transgender characters.
