A Manhattan college professor flipped out on a group of students who set up an information table opposing abortion inside the school building — cursing and tossing their pamphlets, video of the interaction shows.
Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct professor, told the pro-life students they were "triggering" her students by tabling inside Hunter College in Manhattan earlier this month.
The footage was posted to Twitter by Students for Life of America.
"You're not educating s-t. This is f-king propaganda," the art professor told the students tabling on May 2. "What are you going to do like anti-trans next?"
A male student behind the table calmly told her, "I mean no, we're talking about abortion" and said he was sorry about "triggering" her students.
Rodriguez claimed their demonstration was "violent" and yelled at the male student behind the table that he wasn't sorry "because you can't even have a f-king baby," the video shows.

She then pushed the anti-abortion materials off the table toward the students while exclaiming "f-k this s-t" and walked off, according to the footage.
Hunter College, a public college that is part of the city's CUNY program, confirmed that Rodriguez works at the school and said it is aware of the altercation in a statement to Fox News.
A spokesperson for the college told the outlet that Hunter was "taking this matter very seriously."

"The provost has opened an investigation into the professor's actions," the rep said.
It's unclear what preceded the interaction before the video begins.
The PSC Graduate Center, a labor union chapter representing CUNY professors and graduate assistants, said it stands by Rodriguez "against right-wing anti-abortion backlash" and added that her actions were justified.
The center said the pro-life students "set up a table and prominent banners to propagate dangerously false propaganda."
"Her actions to shut down the tabling were fully justified, and are part of a long and celebrated CUNY legacy of confronting groups such as military recruiters who disseminate misleading information," the group said in a letter of support.

That is a college professor? How in the world have the people of the US let this happen?
I'm guessing that rotten soul is more the norm than the exception.
Where is the one who said America has nothing to fear from such people?
Unfortunately, yes. This has been going on for decades. Look at some of the professors--Ayers, Dohrn, Boudin, Rosenberg, and Davis to name just a few. All radicals and most of them committed crimes. Academia rolled out the proverbial red carpet for some of these idiots.
As those on the left veer ever leftward, expect their stranglehold on education to continue and amplify as they control most of the hiring.
If McVeigh had been a leftist he'd have been rewarded with a teaching job instead of the electric chair.
meh, back in my day these rwnj religious wackos would have been combing the carpet for their teeth.
sure, violence is the answer!
I mean, how dare someone be opposed to abortion, huh?
Another prime example of the ever tolerant left.
She probably won't even be punished for her actions by the university.
Men can't have babies???!!!!!! She needs to turn in her leftist entitlement card right now! Where is the outrage from the leftists here? What does she mean men can't have babies???!!!!!! The nerve of her statement is galling! It has been scientifically proven that men can have babies; and she needs to be censored for her comment!
If anything, the FBI is keeping an eye on the pro-life students.
It has been scientifically proven that men can have babies; and she needs to be censored for her comment!
Lol, I learned that right here on NT.
This intolerance of opposing views and the use of violence by the far left is nothing new. Shouting down speakers and vandalism by leftist loons has been going on for decades.
Why do they always turn to violence?
Probably an emotionally stunted person dealing with imposter syndrome who knows they can’t win an argument. So violence wins.
Yes, a binary one as well!
Rodriguez has since been fired by Hunter College for holding a machete to a reporters neck outside her apartment when he went to try to interview her after the incident at the college. I sincerely hope that nut case professor did not have tenure.
They were going to try and get by with giving her a warning until she threatened the reporter.
Thank God that it was all on video tape.
And Sean Hannity got the reporter to speak out later
Let me take this opportunity to urge our readers to boycott corporations that have pandered to generation Z by using the ideology of evil in place of advertising.
Let us boycott Target
There are also sports teams. The LA Dodgers have now bowed down to hate groups:
If any Catholics work for the dodgers, they should sue them for creating a hostile work environment
You bet! Just like the Chicago PD has done.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a hate group? LOL!
Sisters Risque of the Sissyteen Chapel (SF), Sister Viva L'Amour (SF), and Sister Rhoda Kill (LA)
The Dodgers are already sorry.
Have been for years.
As the gop declares they won The Culture War!
Young America increasingly vote against them.
You mean the one that the left won years ago?
The left in academia brainwashed at least one generation.
Nonsense, I taught 3 generations and now they are all upstanding Monarchist Libertarian Trotskyites.
When you get a chance read post 6.
It seems that you have been overshadowed as a teacher.
I only pretend to be crazy, she's the real thing.
Tell us how she got to be a professor. Am I wrong about the University?
She appears to teach in the same field I taught so my guess would be that her body temp was normal.
Odd way to support fascism in action, but you do you.
might makes right!
And then they get a job and look at how much taxes are taken out of their paychecks to give to other people and they change their vote
The same professor now threatened a reporter with a machete.
I think the Biden Admin is now recruiting her for the DOJ.
Following the machete incident with the reporter, Hunter College has fired her.
I guess we found the line. You can harass students and silence speech, but a machete is a bridge too far.
They relieved of her teaching duties. She'll be reassigned in the NYC college system somewhere. Her union is backing her up.
Why am I not surprised. The NY Post articles state she was fired, but not surprising the union is backing her.
I think it is just such union antics which have been instrumental in the lower membership numbers.
How can anyone think this woman should not be fired for what she did?
Seeing how there's pictures, it shouldn't take the NYPD too long to bring charges. As she's currently suing them I imagine they will be careful to cross every t and dot every i, but this seems an easy case of assault with a deadly weapon.
Is scattering a few pamphlets criminal?
Read the NY Post article in 6 or 6.1
Holding a machete to the neck of a reporter and threating to chop him up is criminal.
She has now been fired.
In New York Machetes are illegal. Putting them to someone's neck must be regarded as attempted murder, but it's NYC so who knows if anything will happen.
Do try to keep up.
Even though she was fired from Hunter (CUNY school) - but only after the hallway machete incident and then chasing the reporter and photographer outside to threaten them again - her union still supports her and can place her in another CUNY school without anyone questioning such action.
That's why I sure hope that crazy fool did not have tenure.
Last I knew, that falls under attempted assault/murder with a deadly weapon.
Well, if NY had a decent DA, this would be charged.
But a leftist loon did the deed, so I really don't expect her to be prosecuted for it.
Maybe if the victims had been pro-choice things would be different, or maybe if they had been minorities it would be different.
We'll wait and see.
You planning to defend her machete use saying it wasn't sharp enough to actually slice the neck of the person she was threatening?
I read this morning that she is now playing the victim card. In New York it will probably fly.
yeah, she tried that from the start--claiming that the anti-abortion folk were 'violent'.
If the DA is a decent person, he or she will bring assault charges at the least against her.
The union backing her is monumentally stupid for doing so.
Well, no one has ever claimed unions were bastions of high intellect.
She's only an adjunct professor.
She was fired by Hunter, but she still has her job at another city/state arts school.
Disgusting either way.
Indeed she is disgusting. She also proudly sports a "FTP" tattoo (F!ck the police) on her arm.
I also heard that she demanded that her students contribute to left wing causes. It must be easy to intimidate scared young white kids.
So in typical liberal fashion she pitches a fit.
They have to play to their strength. Pitching a fit is what they do best.
True.
The center said the pro-life students "set up a table and prominent banners to propagate dangerously false propaganda."
"Her actions to shut down the tabling were fully justified, and are part of a long and celebrated CUNY legacy of confronting groups such as military recruiters who disseminate misleading information," the group said in a letter of support.
Sure would like to know if they actually read any of the material or just blindly agreed with the whackadoodle.
I'd be interested to know why or how they think military recruiters disseminate misleading information.
I would be interested to know how their college brochure about getting a good education at their school is not misleading considering who they have as a professor
Rodriguez has a stellar history of being a "role model" ...
The machete-wielding NYC professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter surrendered to police Thursday morning, even though she insists she's the victim and said the entire incident "has taken a toll on my mental health."
She told ARTnews that Hunter College fired her because the school 'capitulated' to 'racists, white nationalist, and misogynists.'
Surprise, surprise, a looney tune has mental health issues.
