Teacher accused of organising a fight club in a Florida middle school, with the rule being ‘no yelling, no phones’.
A teacher in Florida, Angel Footman, is facing charges for allegedly organizing fights at Griffin Middle School in Tallahassee. Reports show that students were allowed to fight in Footman's classroom over the course of two days, and videos were presented to school administrators to support this claim. The fights allegedly had rules, including “30 seconds, no screaming, no yelling, no phones,” and Footman was seen failing to break them up. Unfortunately, Footman did not report the fights to administrators.



In a positive turn of events, Footman told investigators she did not organize the fights, but admitted to failing to call for help, take action to stop the fights, or report them to administrators. Footman was arrested and released, and is set to be arraigned on May 4. This is a stark contrast to the teacher at Heritage High School in Georgia, who went viral earlier this year after a student started a fight with her.
