Two kindergarten teachers who were terminated from Propel Charter Schools in Pittsburgh after they recorded themselves in a classroom celebrating Iranian state media threats to assassinate President Donald Trump have reportedly been hired at the nearby Urban Pathways Charter School.
The teachers, Kate Patterson and Devin Hays, made national headlines earlier this month after they posted a video showing their excited reaction to a news report about Iran’s threats against Trump.
In the clip, the pair crossed their fingers with huge smiles on their faces while showing the headline: “IRAN ISSUES ASSASSINATION THREAT AGAINST TRUMP: RPT,” while sitting in what appeared to be their Propel classroom.
Propel Schools initially placed Patterson and Hays on paid administrative leave for an internal investigation.
The district later confirmed that both women were “no longer employed,” citing the inappropriate nature of the social media posts and the video made on school property.
“We want to be clear that Propel Schools rejects any suggestion of harm or violence toward anyone,” the school said in a statement obtained by WTAE Pittsburgh. “Such sentiments are incompatible with our values and with the responsibility entrusted to educators who serve children and families.”
The statement continued, “Our focus remains on the safety and well-being of our scholars and on upholding the professionalism and trust our community expects.”
Now, just weeks later, the same two teachers have landed new jobs at Urban Pathways Charter School, a taxpayer-funded charter serving students in Pittsburgh.
A video posted by one of the teachers shows the duo excitedly announcing their new jobs at the school, bragging in the caption, “all I do is win.”

The video was posted to X by Right Angle News, who urged people to contact the school with their concerns.
Multiple users tagged Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the U.S. Department of Education, and President Trump’s administration, calling for an investigation into the charter school’s decision and potential loss of funding.
Comments ranged from “These people should not be near children” to demands that the teachers lose their teaching licenses entirely.
As of Saturday evening, neither Urban Pathways Charter School nor the teachers had issued a public statement addressing the backlash or confirming the hires.
