Was Uju Anya Right In Expressing Her Heartfelt Views About The Death of The Queen?
Please read on…
Just as the news broke that Her Majesty was placed under ‘medical supervision’ yesterday morning, some of us who knew better feared the worst and others saw things differently.
Among those who saw things differently was Professor Uju Anya, a lecturer in applied linguistics at the Carnegie Mellon University.
In a series of tweets, which have since gone viral, Professor Anya, who is proudly gay, expressed her forthright views about the now departed Queen Elizabeth II and the institution of the monarchy.
Suffice it to say that it didn’t take too long before the twitter stratosphere became outraged by the messages of the multi-lingual academic.
One of the wealthiest men in the world — Jeff Bezos — chose to wade into the matter, happily denouncing Uju Anya.
But in the midst of the hysteria, it is pertinent to point out that she isn’t alone here; Ms. Anya is part of a motley crew of people out there who feel very strongly about the Royal Family.
