Schools have warned that pupils will be sent home if they copy Andrew Tate.

By Andrew Robinson

Teachers in Yorkshire have revealed how the views of social media personality Andrew Tate have had a negative effect on pupils' behaviour.

School staff in Yorkshire have warned parents to check their children's use of social media and to challenge any form of 'hate speech'.

Tate, 36, is a former kickboxer who has been banned from various social media channels for 'misogynistic comments' after pulling in millions of followers for his 'ultra-masculine' brand and his extreme views on women. Tate is currently in custody in Romania on suspicion of rape and human trafficking. He has denied the allegations.

The former Big Brother contestant, whose TikTok videos have been viewed billions of times, has previously stated that wives are the property of their husbands and that victims of rape ‘bear some responsibility’ for their own rape. He is often labelled a misogynist for his views.
