Eton public school and its traditions cartoon

Eton tradition cartoon

Modernising Eton cartoon.

A cartoon about attempts to modernise the attitudes at Eton College by the current head master, Simon Henderson,
His resolve has led to the sacking of Eton master Will Knowland on the grounds that a lecture that he prepared on the subject of patriarchy was deemed to be objectionable.

Part of the irony of the situation is that Eton is a hugely influential boys-only school steeped in out-dated tradition. If any part of the British education system can be accused of promoting the patriarchy this is it.
A cartoon about patriarchy, tradition, misogyny, free speech, progressive views and political correctness.
