New Jersey Public School Teacher Caught on Camera Telling Students She Hopes They Die From Coronavirus For Playing Outside
By Cassandra Fairbanks
A math teacher at Steinert High School in New Jersey was caught on camera telling students who were playing football in the park that they should “die a long, painful death” from the coronavirus.
The woman in the video, Nicole Griggs, has been a teacher in the district for the last 15 years.
One of the students that the unhinged teacher confronted told the Trentonian that they were playing football on Thursday at the former Homedell School when the incident took place. They captured video of her confrontation and posted it to Snapchat and TikTok with the caption “Y’all Mrs Griggs is losing her damn mind how tf is she a teacher #coronavirus.”

Griggs began by warning them that they could get in trouble being out, but as she became more aggressive, she told the kids that she doesn’t care if her meltdown is posted online.
