2 women ‘no longer employed’ at Propel Schools following video mentioning threats to President Trump

Two women are no longer employed at a local school after sharing a video where they appear to celebrate reported threats to President Donald Trump.

The video shows the two women crossing their fingers while holding up a post about Iran threatening to assassinate the president.

In a statement to Channel 11 on Friday, Propel Schools said it was investigating the TikTok post, but did not say which school the women work at or their roles.

“We are taking this situation seriously and will take appropriate action based on the findings of that investigation. Any suggestion of harm or violence toward any human being is completely unacceptable...” Propel Schools said.

But on Saturday, the school confirmed to Channel 11 that the women are “no longer employed by Propel Schools” following a formal review process.

“We want to be clear that Propel Schools rejects any suggestion of harm or violence toward anyone,” a statement reads. “Such sentiments are incompatible with our values and with the responsibility entrusted to educators who serve children and families. Our focus remains on the safety and well-being of our scholars and on upholding the professionalism and trust our community expects.”
