A former college art instructor caught threatening a journalist with a machete was seen Friday leading a chant about “slitting the master’s throat” at a pro-Palestinian protest.
Shellyne Rodriguez formerly taught art classes at Hunter College and Cooper Union School of Art, both in New York.
In a video on X shared by journalist Andy Ngo, Rodriguez can be seen leading a group of pro-Palestinian protesters in a chant. According to Ngo, the protest took place Friday outside the Brooklyn Museum.
“Our ancestors … dreamed of us slitting the master’s throat,” Rodriguez chanted in the video.
