A Chicago elementary school has circled the wagons and is standing up for a teacher who was captured on video mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The teacher was filmed at a “No Kings Protest” pointing a finger-gun to her neck and yelling, “bang, bang.”
Her actions were in response to a motorist who had driven by with a flag honoring the memory of the slain conservative leader.
We have not been able to independently verify the identity of the teacher. However, we do know that she was employed at Nathan Hale Elementary School an she taught grade schoolers.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, the school shut down its social media pages and website.
Principal Dawn Iles-Gomez issued a statement that placed the blame on conservatives who dared to fly a banner honoring Kirk.

“Tensions rose when individuals drove by the protest attempting to provoke participants,” Gomez wrote. “In a moment of emotion, one of our teachers responded in a way that does not reflect the professionalism and respect we expect from our staff.”
The principal said she had spoken directly to the teacher involved and the matter was addressed.
Was she fired? The principal did not elaborate on any sort of punishment.
“We recognize that these are difficult times in our community and that emotions often run high when people feel strongly about important issues,” the principal said. “Our priority remains fostering understanding, empathy and respect – both inside and outside the classroom.”
Pardon me, ma’am, but that’s a load of grade-A fertilizer.
Nathan Hale Elementary School claims to be a place that fosters “inclusive and respectful learning environment.”
But that’s impossible when there’s a teacher on staff who celebrates the assassination of a conservative who just wanted to engage in a civil debate.
