Chicago Teacher Filmed Mocking Charlie Kirk’s Assassination at ‘No Kings’ Protest Sparks

The video exploded across social media, and honestly, watching it made my stomach turn. Here’s someone we trust with children—someone teaching STEM to kids who probably think she’s just there to explain science—gleefully mocking a man’s murder. Conservative commentators and parents watched in horror as this educator celebrated political assassination with theatrical joy. The woman’s identity spread quickly, though Nathan Hale Elementary’s website mysteriously went dark shortly after, along with their social media accounts.
Chicago Public Schools issued the kind of careful statement we’ve come to expect—you know the type, all bureaucratic hand-wringing and no actual condemnation. They’re “investigating”? Really? What’s to investigate when the evidence is captured in viral video for millions to see? They noted that employees who violate policy face discipline but stopped short of actually condemning the celebration of murder. The police are reportedly investigating too, though I’m not holding my breath for consequences.
