Oh, the irony is thicker than a leftist's skull: A public school principal in the crime ridden Windy City is bending over backward to shield a large teacher who turned a protest into a grotesque pantomime of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk's assassination like, literally finger-gunning her own neck while hollering "bang, bang."
But sure, let's frame her as the poor, persecuted soul amid the "threats."
Enter Lucy Martinez, the woke Nathan Hale Elementary School educator who's now starring in her own episode of Leftist Teacher Gone Wild.

Captured on video over the weekend at a "No Kings" rally, because apparently protesting monarchy is code for reenacting bullet-through-the-throat fantasies, Martinez decided to channel her inner sociopath. The clip, exploding across social media with tens of millions of views, shows her mimicking the exact wound that took Kirk's life last month: finger to the jugular, imaginary trigger pull, and those oh-so-charming sound effects. Subtle as a sledgehammer to the funny bone, if your idea of funny is desecrating a fresh grave of a descent human being.
And what does Principal Dawn Iles-Gomez do when the backlash hits like a Twitter storm? She fires off a letter to parents that reads like a masterclass in bullcrap bureaucratic deflection. No mea culpas for the teacher, no hints of consequences, just a vague nod to shadowy online bogeymen supposedly gunning for Martinez.

Because in the upside-down world of Chicago Public Schools, the real crime isn't mocking a murdered man's final moments; it's the peasants daring to notice.
"Dear Hale Parents and Staff, safety continues to be my top priority, which is why I am writing to notify you of a situation involving our school," the letter states. "We were recently made aware of social media posts with language that resembles a potential threat to a staff member. We take all potential threats extremely seriously to ensure the safety of our school community."
"The Chicago Police Department and the CPS Office of Safety and Security have been notified, and CPD is currently investigating this situation further," the letter continued.
Translation: "Move along, folks--nothing to see here except maybe some mean tweets that totally justify ignoring the elephant in the room (or the finger-gun at the protest)."

Calls for Martinez's firing are mounting faster than the views on that video, and rightly so. But in a system where principals polish turds into trophies, don't hold your breath for actual accountability. After all, if you're teaching kids at an elementary school named after a guy who famously regretted getting hanged, you'd think irony would be the last lesson skipped. Yet here we are.
If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.
