A school district in Washington is reviewing an incident involving a nurse who made a celebratory remark about Charlie Kirk’s death. The Lake Washington School District confirmed that it is aware of a video circulating on social media involving a district employee and said it is reviewing the circumstances while emphasizing that the views expressed do not reflect those of the district.
Incident Details
The video shared on social media shows a woman identified as a nurse at Eastlake High School, Kelsey Ballin, saying, ‘Oh my God, thank God he’s dead, bye,’ after someone else references Charlie Kirk. She also appears to mockingly blow a kiss, stick out her tongue, and then give the finger in the incident, which reportedly took place at a farmer’s market.
The district spokesperson stated that the district takes these concerns seriously and has initiated a review of the circumstances surrounding this incident. The spokesperson emphasized that the views expressed in the video do not reflect the values or positions of the Lake Washington School District.
The district expects all employees to uphold the professional standards and the values of the district and to contribute to a culture of respect, dignity, and civil discourse. The spokesperson added that district employees retain rights and protections as private citizens, and balancing these principles is central to how the district approaches situations like this one.
