Hunter College fired the art professor after she held a machete to the throat of a New York Post reporter and threatened to “chop him up.”

The most remarkable aspect of the story may not be a professor brandishing a knife, but a college actually finding a basis to fire an activist academic.

Hunter College, after all, had refused to fire Rodríguez after she trashed a pro-life table run by students. …

Before she was fired, Rodríguez was defended by students and colleagues.

The PSC Graduate Center, the labor organization of graduate and professional schools at the City University of New York, actually said Rodríguez was “justified” in trashing the display, which they described as dangerously false propaganda” and “disinformation.”

[Be sure to read it all. I wonder how many of those groups who supported Rodriguez for her unhinged attack on a pro-life group are apologizing for it after the machete attack. I’d guess precisely … zero. — Ed]
