Carnegie Mellon University told The Spectator they “do not condone” tweets from one of their professors that wished Queen Elizabeth II an agonizing death.
Uju Anya, who teaches in the Department of Modern Languages, referred to Queen Elizabeth as the “chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire” and said she hoped her dying moments would be “excruciating”. Twitter later removed the tweet for violating its terms of service.
“I’m not wishing her dead. She’s dying already,” Anya said in another tweet. “I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.”
“We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her personal social media account,” a spokesperson for Carnegie Mellon said in an emailed statement. “Free expression is core to the mission of higher education, however, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster.”
Anya received backlash for her tweets but doubled down by sending sexually explicit messages to her critics. One individual who replied “you stink”, to which Anya countered, “You mean like your pussy?” She told another detractor that he should be more “concerned about your wife’s orgasms”.
