A New Jersey school teacher is under investigation after she was filmed screaming at teenage boys telling them she hopes they “both die a long, painful death” from the Chinese Virus.
“Parks closed. The whole area,” Griggs says in the video. “Get it through your thick head. You are the reason we are in this situation. You are the problem, not the solution. Go ahead keep recording. Who are you going to show it to? Post me on social media. You’re the idiot doing the wrong thing. I’m just trying to save your ass and save your life. But die, OK. I hope both of you get the coronavirus. I hope you both die a long, painful death.”
The Trentonian identified the teacher as Nicole Griggs, a math instructor at Steinert High School.
The boys were playing football together on a field that was supposed to be closed when they were confronted by the rampaging teacher.
Griggs warned the teens that the park was closed and that they would get arrested. Her anger then became more intense, PhillyVoice.com reports.

PhillyVoice.com reports Griggs confronted a couple and their small child in April when she saw them removing caution tape from a jungle gym.
“I totally called them out, wished illness on them and commented that it was scary to even think they were parents,” Griggs wrote in the April 6 post.
