A teacher was left devastated after the principal at her school seized all of the pizzas she had bought for her students.
The incident occurred at Brody Middle School in Des Moines, Iowa, where Principal Thomas Hoffman allegedly upset one of the teachers by canceling her pizza party which she organized using her own money.
While the teacher allegedly just wanted to reward her students for all the hard work, Mr. Hoffman expressed doing so “wasn’t fair to other classes.”
According to KCCI, one of the parents, Neil Erickson, complained about the incident on Facebook after his son explained what had happened.
“My son attends Brody Middle School here in Des Moines. His class earned a pizza party that I believe the teacher paid for. He has been excited for this for days… telling me about it and how they earned it,” Erickson wrote.
“Well today was the day. The pizzas were delivered to the class… the teacher paid and signed the receipt. Principal walks into the classroom and says ‘I never approve pizza parties’ or something to that effect.
“He took the pizzas from the kids and let them sit in the office for the teacher to pick up after school. Now my son and his classmates lost the party they worked hard to earn and the pizza I’m sure is wasted now…and the teacher was left in tears. I just can’t believe it!”
After Neil’s story went viral, hundreds of people slammed the principal for ruining the party that was paid for from the teacher’s pocket.
Some, however, have rushed to Hoffman’s aid claiming that the teacher should request permission in advance.
