To be a black, Hispanic female, social justice warrior professor is to sit pretty close to the top of the victimhood pyramid. (She just needs be a disabled lesbian to hit for the cycle.) Given those exalted victimhood credentials, you have to wonder: How bad would her transgression have to be to get her fired?
Well, we now have an answer! You have to hold a machete against a reporter’s neck on camera.
We’ve found the line!
The manic Manhattan college professor who threatened a Post reporter with a machete has been fired, the school said Tuesday — as it emerged she is suing the NYPD for allegedly abusing her during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
Shellyne Rodriguez was sacked by Hunter College just hours after the adjunct professor was caught on camera holding the blade to the veteran reporter’s neck while threatening to “chop” him up outside her Bronx apartment.
“Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action,” school spokesman Vince Dimiceli 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.”
The unhinged art professor wielded the machete and spewed the menacing remarks after the veteran Postie approached her regarding a viral video that showed her flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College earlier this month.
So evidently the line is holding a bladed weapon at someone’s throat.
Good to know…

“You have to hold a machete against a reporter’s neck on camera. We’ve found the line!”
Really? you don’t say! Crazy people harming those paragons of ethics known as reporters is bad…or so I’m told. We absolutely must spread the word that this is the line far and wide. We must suggest that this is a patriarchal line in the sand that they must never cross…if they dare.
I’m sure that doing so will have the desired result of NOT having more machetes held against reporters necks. We certainly don’t approve of that. Not at all. Not even a little.
I see a reporter so damned stupid that he doesn’t even try to defend himself against this maniac? WTF is wrong with you??!! KNOCK HER ASS OUT!!!!
Wanna bet she sues the college for wrongful termination? I’d almost bet, it being NYC, she might win.
@Seawriter
This. NYC loves liars and considering what they just did for Jean Carroll, “might” should probably be upgraded to “certainty”.
You have to hold a machete against a reporter’s neck on camera.
Probably depends on the reporter and/or the network involved.
Note that she was an **adjunct** professor – so she was just a low-paid stringer anyway.
If ever someone deserved an Extreme Risk Protection Order, it would be this person.
They should search her residence, remove any weapons – including edged weapons and take her to a hospital for mental evaluation.
Its what she voted for. Its what she deserves.
Do it “For the children!”
Wait wait wait… she’s been FIRED? No. “Relieved from duties” and not teaching is not *fired*… especially when Hunter College is part of CUNY. She’ll be reassigned to another school the way bishops moved pedo priests around.
Keep in mind here that the only reason there was a line is the “on camera” part.
Call it the cynic in me, but I haven’t seen Hunter actually use the term “fired”, as the article does. Hunter’s statement is that she’s been relieved of her duties, and she won’t be returning “to teach” – leaving it open for her to do “return” and do something else. In other words, it *seems* like slippery weasel-lawyer phrasing which might be hiding the fact she hasn’t *actually* been fired.
She’s only an adjunct professor, which means she’s disposable. Hunter College is just cutting their losses. If she were a full time instructor she’d be protected, especially since the reporter is from the Post and not the Times.
On the other hand, if she’d done that to Tucker Carlson the Board of Trustees might have gone into emergency session and awarded her tenure already.
Lots of talk of her being fired, but isn’t threatening with a deadly weapon classed as ‘assault with a deadly weapon’? Has she been arrested?
This is what evil looks like. The second video where she reacts so violently, that shows her character. She belongs in a place where she can’t hurt normal people. Whoever hired her knew what she was but thought a violent intimidating black woman was a cool thing. That group or committee that hired her needs to be fired as well.
