A Chicago elementary school teacher crossed the line at a No Kings protest — mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination with a vile gun gesture.
Lucy Martinez, a teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary, was caught on video putting a finger to her neck and pretending to pull the trigger after a man driving by waved a flag calling the late podcaster a "hero."
Protesters didn’t hold back — several flipped off the counter-protester in a fiery show of anger.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was allegedly shot in the neck and killed by Tyler Robinson as he addressed students at Utah State University last month.
It remains unclear if Martinez has faced any punishment, but the school’s website mysteriously vanished soon after the video spread online.
Chicago Public Schools said it “remains committed to creating and maintaining a welcoming, safe and inclusive teaching and learning environment, free from harassment, bias, or harm of any kind.”
“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.”

When asked if Martinez had been fired, a district spokesperson told The Post to refer to its earlier statement.
The horrifying gesture was captured on video — and it quickly went viral, fueling a firestorm of anger online.
“This is who we trust with our children & then wonder why they become radicalized as adults,” Libs of Chicago posted.

“This woman teaches children. Lucy is now the perfect face of the “No Kings” movement — a movement that preaches “love” but celebrates death. Evil always exposed itself,” Ryan Fournier, co-founder of Students for Trump, wrote on X.
“What parent would want their child being taught by such a truly hateful person,” another user raged.
Martinez could not be reached by The Post on Monday.
