Misogynistic and extemist behaviour forces teen to leave school

From Checkpoint, 5:16 pm on 13 October 2025

'They've started to have the attitude women should go back to the kitchen and shouldn't work.' That from a 13 year old student who says she left school due to a rise in misogynistic and extremist behaviour by some boys in her class. Checkpoint recently spoke to the author of a report about the concerning rise of this sort of toxic masculinity in schools. Since then we've been contacted by teachers and students who've told us first-hand what it's actually like to fall victim to it. A warning, some of the details in Louise Ternouth's report are confronting.
