At least two Adelaide schools have sent information home to parents and guardians explaining how to discuss the controversial online influencer Andrew Tate with their children.
Andrew Tate has been banned from social media platforms for allegedly posting misogynistic contentThe education minister says schools are free to choose what to send to families
"As a school we do not endorse the views of Andrew Tate and do not want to perpetuate these through the school," Unley High School principal Greg Rolton wrote to students' families. "So you've got to send a letter to make parents aware and let parents have that chat to say 'are you aware of this bloke, do you know what he is saying, do you know why this messaging is so dangerous and here's what we can do to make you understand and navigate the pitfalls of social media'."He said parents often needed to be informed about trends on social media "so they can have a conversation".
Earlier this month Tate said in a statement to a UK newspaper that his Instagram account was banned because old videos "where I was playing a comedic character" were "taken out of context".
