"NYC Professor Fired for Anti-Israel Rants and Machete Incident"

Shellyne Rodriguez, the professor who infamously held a machete to a reporter's neck, has been fired from Cooper Union for making anti-Israel comments on social media. Her firing has sparked mixed reactions, with some defending her as a vocal opponent of "genocide and settler-colonial violence," while others, including Jewish students, are relieved by the decision. Rodriguez had previously been fired from Hunter College and the School of Visual Arts for the machete incident.
