Why I was sacked from Eton

A male teacher was sacked from the prestigious Eton College because of a video with criticism of feminism and a traditionalist defense of masculinity. While many people here (myself included) don't share a number of his views, holding such views should in no way lead to being fired from a teaching job, especially as teacher with more harmful feminist views stay and get encouraged.

It is outrageous that educational institutions go this far in silencing diversity and harming boys' education.

It was not new legislation I’d transgressed, just a new religion with an old-time zeal to suppress dissent and punish heresy. The College’s ‘approach to equality and diversity’ — which it finally claimed I had breached — has never been explained to staff, making it impossible to follow. The boy who wrote to me afterwards saying he wished more could have been done to defend my case needn’t have felt so bad.

Shame about this man's profession, but I'm glad that more people are starting to catch up to this (emphasis mine).

Eh, I watched the video and it had some clearly derogatory remarks towards homosexuals/transexuals in the first few minutes. I can't get behind that, and I certainly understand a uni not wanting that tied to it's image.
