Texas Substitute Teacher Fired for Encouraging Classroom Fights

A substitute teacher in Texas has been fired after allegedly encouraging students to fight in her class at Kimbrough Middle School. The teacher reportedly outlined rules for the students to follow and even instructed a student to monitor the classroom door while the fights took place. The district has referred the matter to the Mesquite Police Department, where an investigation is underway. No injuries were reported, but video and information from a school parent indicates the fighting was rough enough that some students left the classroom bleeding.
