Desire to weaken the family spreading in modern culture

Interview with Will Knowland.

Will Knowland was sacked from his position as an English Literature Master at the prestigious Eton College. He had prepared a video for a debating class of sixth form students, referencing the immutable differences between men and women. A strong supporter of man-woman marriage, Will and I discussed the detail of his firing and his wider stand.

You can listen to our conversation here.

Will tells me how students at the £46,000-a-year school had not complained about the 30-minute talk with 45 academic references, but one member of staff had found it offensive.

He goes on to speak about a prevailing ‘arrogance and hubris’ in modern culture, which sees “the idea of family as oppressive”. At the core of this liberalism, he says, is an “obsession with autonomy”. Because “family is our first experience of authority”, their desire is to “weaken the family” and “strengthen dependence” on the state. This, Will claims, represents “a broader attack on patriarchy” and on fathers in general.
