Teacher wishes all Trump supporters choke and ‘suffer long’; gets placed on leaveA science teacher in Long Island, New York has been placed on leave after posting on social media that she wished “all Trump supporters” would choke the next time they have a drink and “slowly wither away.”Pamila Pahuja of R.C. Murphy Junior High School in the Three Village Central School District apparently made the comments because President Trump soon was going to begin illegal immigration raids in Chicago, according to Libs of TikTok on X.“To all my friends and their families worried, stay safe,” Pahuja (pictured) wrote. “America is no longer the land of the free — we are prisoners of the government. Only a matter of time before they come for all women.”Pahuja added she hoped the next time those who backed Trump “take a drink” that “it doesn’t swallow right and you go to get help but no one is there and you slowly wither away while struggling to gasp and you suffer long.”“That’s what you want for people you deem not worthy right [sic]?” she continued. “Don’t worry, I’ll pray for it to last longer.”She concluded with “If you were tired of me in 2016 … better block me now.”In a letter dated January 26, Murphy JHS Principal Michael Jantzen wrote that Pahuja “will be out of school until further notice.” He offered nothing further other than assuring parents a “smooth transition and continued high-quality instruction in science.”According to the local teachers union bio, Pahuja’s parents both were teachers (in India, Pakistan, and Ethiopia before the U.S.), and she says “teaching is not just in [her] blood,” but “feeds [her] soul.”She also makes almost $165,000 per year.
