New York professor Shellyne Rodriguez, who held a machete to a reporter's neck, was terminated from her role at Cooper Union after anti-Israel remarks.
"Cooper Union has fired me because of a social media post I made about ‘Zionists’… effective immediately," Rodriguez, 47, wrote in a Jan. 23 email to students, according to the New York Post. Cooper Union Students for Justice in Palestine shared the email on Instagram the next day. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"This is fascism. Ya’ll are learning about it in real time," Rodriguez wrote. "Stay strong, [stay] brave, stay defiant, don’t bite your tongue, and drink plenty of water! Pa-lante!"
