A professor at a New York City art college has been fired after she aggressively challenged pro-life students on campus, then pulled a machete on a reporter.
Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, was an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts and Hunter College.
Earlier in May she angrily confronted students manning a pro-life stand inside the college, swearing at them furiously - then destroying the display.
When asked about the incident at her home in the Bronx, Rodriguez drew a machete and held it to the throat of the reporter at her door, threatening to 'chop' him up.
When New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton and his photographer colleague left, she followed them out the front door, machete still in hand.
'Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action,' said Vince Dimiceli, a spokesman for the school.
He told The Post: 'Rodriguez has been relieved of her duties at Hunter College effective immediately, and will not be returning to teach at the school.'
It also emerged on Tuesday that Rodriguez is suing the NYPD after she was arrested in 2020, during the George Floyd protests.
Rodriguez claims in her lawsuit that police officers pulled her hair, shoved her face into a gate and repeatedly punched her in the stomach.
She was arrested in the Bronx and put in a police van with 14 others.

It’s nice to be able to get a Lefty scalp once in a while.
EVIL UGLY MARXIST actually chased that reporter with her MACHETE! She SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED! But she’s a BLACK DEMOCRAT...therefore UNTOUCHABLE!
I’m very surprised.
I wonder what college will hire her now since she has proven her bona fides
Probably any college except Hillsdale, or Liberty University.
Can you imagine being in her class and disagreeing with her?
Misgendering got this otherwise peaceful professor fired.
She would put a machete up to your neck, like she did with the NY post reporter.
She was actually fired? Wow! Did she forget to check a box?
Bolt cutters displayed on the wall? I guess that is how she removes some of the larger piercings?
Agreed! I hope the outcome would have been the same if she had been a tenured professor.
Burglary tools.
She looks friendly and a pleasure to be around.
Are those bolt cutters in the background?
So this passes as a “Professor” today.
I wonder what knowledge she possesses that is worth the tuition for her class?
Oh I am sure her putting a knife to the reporters throat is what got her fired.. her on campus actions wouldn’t even merit a visit from HR in todays university environment.
