Florida Teacher Accused of Running Fight Club in Classroom

A 6th-grade teacher in Florida has been charged with four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for facilitating classroom fights among girls at her middle school. The teacher, Angel Drew Footman, denied organizing the fights but videos captured a voice that school administrators said was hers, presenting rules and intervening verbally. Footman is alleged to have encouraged delinquency in the girls by failing to intervene most of the time, failing to report the fighting to superiors, and failing to let parents know.
