"Allegations of Teacher-Encouraged Student Fights Spark Investigations in Indianapolis Schools"

An Indianapolis elementary school teacher is being sued for allegedly organizing "fight club-style" brawls between students, including a 7-year-old special needs student, and recording the disturbing incidents. The teacher, Julious Johnican, is accused of condoning and instigating the fights, which were captured on video and revealed during a parent-teacher conference. The lawsuit also alleges that school administrators ignored the mother's concerns for months and that the teacher allowed other students to attack her son. The Indianapolis Public Schools district has stated that they do not tolerate such behavior and took immediate action when they learned of the teacher's conduct.

David Fincher's Filmography: From Worst to Best, The Killer Misses

Director David Fincher's filmography is filled with confident and innovative movies, making it difficult to rank them. However, his top five films are relatively easy to identify, including "Fight Club" and "Zodiac." On the other hand, the bottom of the list is more subjective. Some notable films include "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Fincher's latest film, "The Killer," explores failure and his own work, while "Mank" is a history lesson with a hangover. Overall, Fincher's films are known for their meticulousness, innovation, and exploration of various genres and themes.
