Social media influencers are fuelling an increase in misogyny and sexism in schools, according to a new poll by a teaching union.
Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, the NASUWT poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK found.
Influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate was named by a number of teachers in the poll.
The Department for Education (DfE) said it was supporting the teachers to tackle the "damaging impact" on children caused by "the rise of dangerous influencers".
Union members will debate motions at its annual conference in Liverpool this weekend, including one that suggests far-right and populist movements have shifted their recruitment on to social media, messaging and online gaming platforms.
"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.

No, leftistism is fuelling misogyny.
So this is why the Left is trying to make a big deal of that Netflix series about a young boy stabbing a girl.
Teachers unions and DEI should know what goes around comes around
,,, teachers closing the door on diversity if it doesn’t work for them makes them dangerous influencers, surely?
I’d hate to see the behavior of 10yo boys after reading the misogyny of posters to some threads here.
FR + Computer = far superior education
I’m talking about a vile subset of FR threads, with this one at risk of becoming part of that.
I tend to skip those! Only wholesome content for me
I’m not a fan of Andrew Tate, but I agree that the pendulum tends to swing swiftly in the opposite direction when pulled too far one way or the other. The Left has overplayed their hand in almost every venue, and the snuffing out of “boys will be boys” is going to result in a wild swing other way.
Men are fed up with being media cucks. In every way they are being cast a oafs, dolts, and subhuman. Meanwhile they’re still the dominant gender in all dangerous occupations: miners, oil workers, sailors, military, police and fire. Meanwhile we are watching as Trump and his powerful team of traditionalist men are laying waste to leftist ideologies through common sense and core conservative values, and men of all races and ages are flocking to the right in an attempt to retake what white Anglo-Saxon Christian society has spent centuries and untold gallons of blood and treasure to build.
Women, too, are benefiting from this. It is becoming evident the need for powerful men in this world, even if the examples set by people like Tate are caustic.
“Believe “,? I believe these “teachers” are worthless as is their opinions
Misogyny, hate or contempt or prejudice against women. That’s a huge difference between hate and prejudice.
on e again women can’t even figure out what they want because, chivalry is Clearly misogynistic.
I was born before feminism and thank God I grew up when women were women and men were men.
We need more misogyny, men need to treat women like the weaker sex and women need to start being better at being women than trying to beat men.
He’s a POS.
Impossible. The schools are too full of misandry...
Those Tate brothers are two big piles of excrement. Horrid, dreadful, ...
Amen. Feminism is fueling misogyny. I say this as a 64 yr old female.
The same people complaining about misogyny can’t even define “woman”.
