I discuss [Shellyne] Rodríguez in my book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage” as an example of the radical chic in higher education.

Rodríguez leads the pro-Palestinian protesters in anti-police chants:

“Our ancestors are horrified to see black people, Latinx people, indigenous people, children of migrants, and Muslims joining the slave patrol NYPD and [inaudible] plantation overseers in the jails and prisons.”

For a person who chased reporters with a machete, it is a curious choice for a speaker against violence. However, Rodríguez is clearly revered by the crowd.
