NextImg:The Corner: Machete-Wielding Teacher Returns

Remember Shellyne Rodriguez, the New York City teacher who threatened to chop up a reporter with a machete in May? She was fired by Hunter College for the disturbing incident, but it appears she was offered a new position at Cooper Union in the East Village, the College Fix reported.

The Cooper Union School of Art, a private college in Manhattan, lists artist Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, of the Bronx, as an adjunct instructor in several places on its website.

Its fall course schedule, dated Sept. 1, shows an S. Rodriguez teaching a three-credit sculpture class. Shellyne Rodriguez is the only faculty member with those initials listed in the faculty and staff directory.

It appears Rodriguez was hired recently at Cooper based on website archives of its faculty directory, which does not mention her prior to Aug. 29.

Rodriguez went viral earlier this year after she harassed pro-life students at Hunter College, telling a male student, “You can’t even have a fing baby. So you don’t even know what that is. Get this sh the f** out of here.”

When a New York Post reporter tried to interview Rodriguez at her home about the confrontation, she held a machete to his neck, said, “Get the f*** away from my door,” and threatened to “chop” him. She pleaded not guilty to charges of harassment, menacing, and weapons possession in August.

Maybe lock up the chisels until further notice.
