Many British universities are removing the study of Western literature’s classical works from their curricula in attempts to “decolonize the curriculum.” To understand why this is being done and its potential impact on students, NTD spoke to former Eton master Will Knowland. Knowland was wrongfully dismissed from Eton in 2020 over a controversial YouTube video he made on the topic of masculinity. It was the subject of a lecture intended to provoke debate that he had been forbidden to give to his students at the school.
