England rugby coach Eddie Jones was 'embarrassed' in front of Eton pupils after teacher chastised him for saying players needed to display 'manliness'

The coach, 60, was responding to a question from a pupil during an event at the £42,500-a-year-school near Windsor, in Berkshire.

A female staff member told Mr Jones that she thought it was an 'inappropriate word' with the ex-rugby player 'letting it go', according to a parent.

A parent told The Times: 'A staff member embarrassed Eddie in front of the boys, saying she thought this an inappropriate word.

'Eddie behaved as a gentleman and let the moment go, but the night was soured.

'The boys were furious at such an open breach of the school's tradition of intellectual hospitality.'

Meanwhile, another parent added that he was respectfully asked to define manliness and that such questions are a necessary part of the events.

Etsy Bans Pro-Trump Slogan in Wake of Contested Election

This week, Etsy reportedly banned pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” merchandise while allowing sellers to list merchandise with the originally anti-Trump slogan “Not My President.” Etsy has claimed that “Stop the Steal” merchandise “promotes or endorses harmful misinformation,” even though President Donald Trump is contesting the 2020 election results.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome strikes crafters AGAIN. My friend Deplorable Knitter told me her [Stop the Steal] hats have been banned on Etsy,” journalist Michelle Malkin reported on Twitter. “Here’s the email notification from Etsy: ‘Certain types of content are not appropriate for the Etsy marketplace. This includes content that promotes or endorses harmful misinformation, including items that can obstruct election integrity.”

“The US election is a major focus for many Etsy buyers and sellers right now, and we understand that members of our community are interested in commemorating this election with items that display the election results,” the Etsy email continued. “Now that a projected winner of the US presidential election has been announced, contradictory declarations of victory or content that disputes the validity of the outcome may be considered harmful misinformation and will be removed in order to minimize confusion about the election outcome.”

At the same time, it is also premature to claim that “Stop the Steal” is entirely false and “harmful misinformation.” While the narrative is unlikely, it may prove true.

Finally, if Etsy is going to police election “misinformation,” why does it allow the “Not My President” slogan? While the claim that Trump is “not my president” may be a personal declaration of someone’s feelings about the president, it also suggests that Trump is somehow illegitimate.
