Yavneh Head urges kids to come off TikTok
Mr Lewis concerned students will be exposed to “distressing” Israel content
The executive headteacher at Yavneh College has sent parents an email advising them to ensure their children remove the social app ‘TikTok’ from their phones.
In an email seen by Jewish News, Mr Lewis, executive headteacher of the Hertfordshire school, writes:
“I have been informed of some extremely distressing videos that might be released on Tik Tok regarding the war in Israel.
“I would advise removing that app from your children’s phones and/or talking to them to make sure they do not watch them. The task of shielding our children from what is happening is difficult and delicate, we need them to be educated and aware but not traumatised and scared. Not an easy task.”
