Four days after a\u00a0Chicago<\/u><\/a> elementary school teacher was captured in a viral video mocking the death of Charlie Kirk at an anti-Trump protest, the school system has yet to put out a statement condemning political violence, the actions of the teacher, or any specific disciplinary measures that have been taken.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Public Schools system leaped into the national spotlight over the weekend after Lucy Martinez, a\u00a0K-8 STEM teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary School, was seen on video during the “No Kings” protests antagonizing a Charlie Kirk<\/a> supporter by pointing an imaginary gun to her neck and shouting, “Bang, bang.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shortly after the video was posted,\u00a0social media erupted<\/u><\/a> with calls for the teacher to be fired for mocking Kirk\u2019s assassination and seeming to condone political violence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Teachers are entrusted to educate the next generation of American students by modeling respect and integrity,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon\u00a0posted on X<\/a>, joining a chorus of others who condemned the teachers’ actions.<\/p>\n

“No child should be trapped in a government-run school with a teacher who celebrates murder.”<\/p>\n

Over the next few days after the incident, the school faced mounting criticism for not forcefully condemning Martinez as it focused instead on concerns about the educator’s safety in a letter to parents on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Dear Hale Parents, and Staff,\u00a0Safety continues to be my top priority, which is why I am writing to notify you of a situation involving our school,” the letter said. “We were recently made aware of social media posts with language that resemble a potential threat to a staff member.\u00a0We take all potential threats extremely seriously to ensure the safety of our school community.”<\/p>\n

The school system provided a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday that did not condemn political violence, acknowledge any wrongdoing by Martinez, or disclose any disciplinary measures that have been taken since Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Chicago Public Schools (CPS) remains committed to creating and maintaining a welcoming, safe, and inclusive teaching and learning environment, free from harassment, bias, or harm of any kind,” the statement said. “While CPS does not comment on specific personnel matters the District follows a consistent process when allegations of misconduct are reported. Employees found to have violated Board policy are subject to disciplinary action.”<\/p>\n

While the school system has not given many specifics to the public, Turning Point USA\u2019s Andrew Kolvet\u00a0posted a screenshot on X<\/u><\/a> of an email he says was shared by a “livid” parent showing Hale principal\u00a0Dawn Iles-Gomez addressing families in a way Kolvet described as “making Martinez out to be a victim without even acknowledging her vile behavior.”<\/p>\n

In a separate incident in Chicago on Saturday, another education professional found himself in the national spotlight after he spoke through a bullhorn at a “No Kings” rally and called for ICE agents to be shot.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Social media users quickly identified the man as an employee for City Colleges of Chicago and on Monday the school system confirmed he “no longer” works there.<\/p>\n

“Our college system does not tolerate violence or incitement under any circumstances,” a City Colleges of Chicago spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
