Teachers have warned that a self-styled wealth guru accused of spreading misogyny is becoming a role model for teenage boys as he attracts billions of views on social media.
Videos of Andrew Tate, 35, who has described women as men’s property, have flooded TikTok and amassed 13 billion views, prompting schools to say action must be taken to educate students about the harmful nature of his content.
