Myleene Klass told 'tweet nicely or not at all' in public dressing down from headmistress following gift row

Myleene Klass has been warned off tweeting by the headmistress of her daughter’s private school.
The head sent a letter to all parents saying "If you can't tweet anything nice, don't tweet anything at all" after Myleene became involved in
a very public spat over birthday present donations.
The 36-year-old shared a couple of emails from mothers asking for a £10 donation towards gifts alongside her very public reply.

Myleene has been told not to tweet if she has nothing nice to say

She was then accused by parents of keeping the emails for whole year and releasing them in order to get some media attention.
The headmistress wrote in her strongly worded letter: “It was not my intention to use the [newsletter] this week as a soap box, but here it comes … how I wish I could focus on your daughters' education and not on responding to media trivia.
“How many times this week have I been asked to comment/act/intervene/reprimand/ … do something! Mutual respect and tolerance. FBV. We actively promote them – do you?

Myleene came under fire

“I needed to get that off my chest. Now, on with the week's round up of [school] news. No more parking on zig zags. No more blocking in the neighbours. No more unicorns.
“And as my granny would've said, if you can't tweet anything nice, don't tweet anything at all.”
The Classic FM presenter had received backlash from parents at the school for the tongue and cheek reply and she has now admitted her decision to tweet makes her either "courageous or an idiot".

FULL LETTER FROM THE SCHOOL'S HEAD

“I’ve just been reviewing (the school’s) proposed statement response to the latest Government requirement for every school to promote Fundamental British Values, or FBV, as we say in the trade.
"We could debate for hours, nay weeks, exactly what these are, or at least what they should be (and you rest assured that there has been much debate in school!), but here’s what I think,
"When I am instructed to report on how we promote ‘democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those of different father and belief’s, you can rest assured they are at the heart of everything we do.
"Please note: We WILL challenge opinions and behaviours that are contrary to these values. This is actually quite straightforward as our pupils are young, receptive, and eager to learn.
“It is so much more difficult when they girls observe attitudes and behaviours that fly in the face of our values. It was not my intention to use the [newsletter] this week as a soap box, but here it comes … how I wish I could focus on your daughters' education and not on responding to media trivia.
“How many times this week have I been asked to comment/act/intervene/reprimand/ … do something! Mutual respect and tolerance. FBV. We actively promote them – do you?
“I needed to get that off my chest. Now, on with the week's round up of [school] news. No more parking on zig zags. No more blocking in the neighbours. No more unicorns.
“And as my granny would've said, if you can't tweet anything nice, don't tweet anything at all.”
