New York teacher Shellyne Rodriguez, who threatened to ‘cut’ Post reporter with machete, gets new teaching gig

The former Manhattan college professor who threatened to “cut” a Post reporter while holding a machete to his neck he seems to have secured himself a new teaching gig.

Shellyne Rodriguez is listed as an add-on instructor at the Cooper Union in the East Village and appears on the fall semester schedule as a sculpture class.

A Cooper Union spokesman did not immediately respond when asked to confirm Rodriguez’s employment status.

Rodriguez was dismissed from her duties as a teacher at both Hunter College and the School of Visual Arts after she was caught threatening and then chasing a veteran Post reporter with a machete on May 23.

She was charged with harassment and menacing after the violent encounter that began when the scribe and a photographer knocked on the door of her Bronx apartment to get comment about a viral video featuring the teacher.

Rodriguez was captured on video cursing and yelling at a group of Hunter students who set up a table with pamphlets and anti-abortion materials on May 2.

“You’re not educating badly. This is fucking propaganda,” he snapped, throwing the papers on the floor. “What are you going to do, like anti-trans next?”

After the video made its way back online, Post reporters knocked on the door of his Bronx apartment on May 23 to get his side of the story.

Instead, Rodríguez came out armed with a machete that she quickly held to the journalist’s throat, an alarming video shows.

“Get the crap out of my door or I’ll cut you with this machete!” Rodriguez shouted before retreating inside.

The couple left the building but Rodriguez soon came after them and chased them down the street while wielding the machete, according to the images of the encounter.

“If I see you on this blog one more time, you’re going to…” he started yelling. “Get the crap off the block! Get the crap out of here, huh!”

Hours after the video of her shocking actions was released, Hunter College fired her and her he was later charged with harassment, threats and possession of weapons, all of which he pleaded not guilty to.
