A sixth-grade teacher from Griffin Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida, has been arrested for allowing her students to fight in her classroom, according to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. Angel Drew Footman, 23, is facing four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The case was brought to the attention of authorities on March 23, when a school resource deputy received a report that Footman was allowing children to fight during school hours. The deputy’s investigation revealed that Footman had allegedly allowed multiple incidents of fighting to take place in her classroom, with videos of the fights circulating among parents and administrators.
Videos showed three different fights that took place while Footman was present. In the videos, Footman is seen sitting on her desk during the fights, making no effort to intervene. A female voice, identified as Footman’s, can be heard on the videos instructing students to “no screaming, no nothing” and to “stop pulling hair” as they fought one another. Footman only broke up the fights after they had gone on for a “brief period,” the affidavit said.
Investigators spoke with several female students who were identified as partaking in the fights. These students informed investigators that the fights were not random but rather pre-planned. Footman allegedly asked them if they wanted to have “friendly fades” before their fights and gave the students instructions, including: “30 seconds, no screaming, no yelling, no phones.” Footman even asked the students if they wanted to come back during her 6th period to “run it back” for a second round of fighting, the affidavit said.
The students were actually called out of their classes to participate in the fights since they were not supposed to be in Footman’s classroom. School records show that Footman never reported the fights to the administration.

That said, our local schools may be an exception or they may be hiding their Wokeness from parents (so far).
