Nathan Hale Elementary School in Chicago has abruptly taken down its website, with the page now displaying an “Under Construction” message. This action follows accusations against one of its teachers, Lucy Martinez, who is alleged to have mocked the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a recent protest in West Beverly, Chicago. The incident reportedly occurred approximately 30 minutes away from the K-8 school’s location.
The allegations against Martinez, captured in a video circulating on social media, have sparked considerable controversy. While details surrounding the specific gesture remain unconfirmed, the school’s decision to temporarily shut down its website suggests the seriousness with which they are treating the matter. As of now, there’s been no official statement from the school or the Chicago Public Schools system regarding the incident or the status of Martinez’s employment.
