Just in case you needed a reminder of how soulless our political opposition on the left seems to be these days, one need look no further than a series of Tweets from the people we entrust with educating our youth .. oh, and the formerly richest man in the world.
Now, I am not a fan of the Monarchy, nor queen Elizabeth in particular, but you won’t mind me wishing her pain and death on her death bed.
What kind of people are these, you might ask? The kind that allow atrocities and genocide to be carried out in their name I suggest …
The Gateway Pundit reported:
Uju Anya, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, unleashed a disgusting tirade on Twitter as Queen Elizabeth lay dying.
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.” The Tweet was later removed but screenshots continue to circulate.
The Tweet received over 10,000 likes and retweets before it was removed. Despite the backlash Anya received, she doubled down on her sick behavior.
If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star.

Even ultra-leftist Jeff Bezos found the sentiment disgusting.
This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow. https://t.co/2zoi6CdFMq

Anya was unmoved.
Otoro gba gbue gi.
May everyone you and your merciless greed have harmed in this world remember you as fondly as I remember my colonizers.

A Twitter user commented “Ewww you stink.” This professor at a top tier university responded,
You mean like your pussy?

While it appears Twitter removed the original post, Anya’s account remains active further underscoring Twitter’s biased policies.
According to her bio at Carnegie Mellon “Dr. Uju Anya is faculty in the Department of Modern Languages at Carnegie Mellon University. She teaches and conducts research in critical applied linguistics, critical sociolinguistics, new language learning, and critical race and discourse studies as associate professor of second language acquisition.”
I am a scholar of language learning and Black experiences in multilingualism. My primary fields of inquiry are critical applied linguistics, critical sociolinguistics, and critical discourse studies examining race, gender, sexual, and social class identities in new language learning through the multilingual journeys of African American students. I also have expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion in instructional practices and curriculum design, language study abroad, applied linguistics as a practice of social justice, intercultural communication, and service-learning in secondary and university-level language programs.
My book “Racialized identities in second language learning: Speaking blackness in Brazil” (Routledge 2017) examines how students shape and negotiate different identities in multilingual contexts, and it proposes how a multilingual approach (e.g. translanguaging, plurilingual practice) can be utilized for effective language pedagogy. My book was the first single-authored volume of sociolinguistic analysis and critical examination of the African American experience in language learning and won the 2019 American Association for Applied Linguistics First Book Award recognizing a scholar whose first book represents outstanding work that makes an exceptional contribution to the field. My second book, a co-edited volume titled “Racial equity on college campuses: Connecting research to practice,” is due to be released by SUNY Press at the end of 2021.
Update:
Carnegie Mellon University has responded and, unsurprisingly, they are doing nothing about this vile professor.
