‘My student threatened to rape me after watching Andrew Tate – his words were chiling’

Andrew Tate has long been linked to the terrifying rise of misogyny and sexism in the UK, but now teachers have exposed the real-life impact his views have on schoolchildren.
A new poll by a teaching union has found that “dangerous” social media influencers are fuelling harmful attitudes towards women and girls in the classroom. The research by NAWUWT discovered that three in five teachers believe social media has a negative impact on behaviour in schools, with self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate being named by multiple teachers in the survey.
“I have had boys refuse to speak to me and speak to a male teaching assistant instead because I am a woman and they follow Andrew Tate and think he is amazing with all his cars and women… These were 10-year-olds,” one teacher said, the BBC reports. Another teacher said that a group of boys wrote an essay in their English class to explain why Tate is the GOAT (greatest of all time) “despite discouragement”.
While alarming, it’s not the first time that educators have warned that Tate’s insidious views are rooting themselves into the minds of schoolchildren. The Mirror has spoken to teachers, charities and experts who train schools in how to deal with misogyny, to map out the bleak picture and expose what parents and educators really are up against. Here we delve into the dark underbelly of Tate’s stardom, and the real-life impact it’s having on young boys and men.
