At first, people online were making snarky jokes about the possibility a Chicago 'No Kings' protestor who was mocking the death of Charlie Kirk would turn out to be a public school teacher. Unfortunately, truth is stranger than fiction, and you can't even make up the events in this current timeline, and she indeed, is a teacher.
NEW: The woman in the viral video mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination is a Chicago Public School teacher, according to the individual who posted the original video.

"Tha lady from the video is Lucy Martinez. She's a teacher in a Chicago school," he claimed.

Collin was being responsible and not posting definitively until there was more evidence. Then, the more evidence came.

It seems pretty clear she is indeed a public school teacher. If you were looking for a reason to homeschool today, here it is.

A Google search presented this. This school is about a 30-minute drive from where the protest was. pic.twitter.com/2NXzyAMfI1

Nathan Hale Elementary is where a "Lucy Martinez" who matches this description works, according to the Nathan Hale Elementary School website.

This is what a brainwashed ‘No Kings’ protestor looks like. The disrespect of waving Mexico’s flag then making a neck gesture to a Charlie Kirk fan is utterly despicable, disgraceful and downright disgusting!

As a Latina, we DON’T claim her as one of ours.pic.twitter.com/JP4wMNRzyI
So, she hates America and conservatives. What a nice lady. Let's hope none of her students come from conservative or American families since she seems pretty bitter toward both.

This is a moral failure. When educators glorify hate instead of teaching respect for life, the system’s broken. Chicago needs answers, and parents deserve accountability.

If the party ever wants to be taken as anything but a threat to humanity it needs to come to grips with it's dark side. https://t.co/6FZ41GDUvh
