An elementary school principal and third grade teacher in Florida are facing criminal charges for throwing a “white lie party” where more than 100 kids age 13 to 17 — including one that got a DUI — were caught drinking alcohol and wearing T-shirts with a “white lie” written on them, according to police.
Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, a former teacher of the year and current principal of Roosevelt Elementary School, was arrested and charged as the owner of the home where the house party was allegedly held in Cocoa Beach. Karly Anderson, the third grade teacher, was allegedly at the party and drinking along with the youths, with the Cocoa Beach Police Department reporting her as being intoxicated.
“It’s absolutely inappropriate just on its face, and it’s even more inappropriate considering these people’s standing in the community,” Detective Sgt. Taylor Payne told local Fox affiliate WFOL.
