Goddamned liberal hippie professors...

On a lighter note, dangerously off topic, and in complete disregard of the new No-Info rule, here's an example of a professor gone bad:

Physics Professor Goes on Rage in Class

Wed Oct 13,11:12 PM ET


LAFAYETTE, La. - A University of Louisiana at Lafayette physics professor was banned from the campus Wednesday and taken to the coroner's office for evaluation after threatening his class, university officials said.

Student Kacie Spears said professor Louis Houston lost control right after class began Wednesday morning and was yelling obscenities.

"Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now", so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told KATC-TV.

Spears said Houston slapped a student and then told his class he was God.

After class ended, students left the room in Broussard Hall and someone called campus security.

Houston was taken to campus police to answer questions. Officials then evacuated Broussard Hall and canceled all classes there while police searched the building. University police contacted the FBI (news - web sites), State Police, and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Department Intelligence Unit for assistance.

A bomb dog was also brought in to check for explosives, but nothing was found.

Spears said it wasn't the first time Houston had an outburst in class.

"He's always acted a little strange, he's yelled and cursed before, and this time we waited for it to stop, but it never did," Spears says.

Law enforcement officers transported Houston to the Lafayette Parish Coroner's Office to be evaluated for possible involuntary commitment to a mental health facility. In the meantime, Houston has been banned from the university's campus and his faculty duties have been suspended.

University officials said in a statement they would make a final decision about Houston's employment once a full investigation into the incident is complete.

 

that makes me feel a new appreciation for my physics professor who can barely speak english and randomly shouts out, "cleavage! we love zee cleavage, yes?".

 

we had a history teacher in high school who freaked out & was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. he thought my friend was plotting to kill him.

 

Is this something on a lighter note is this what you call humour? Also why do you say this person is a ‘liberal hippie’?

This is the mans CV, http://physics.louisiana.edu/louis.html

Also

Bradd Clark, dean of the College of the Sciences.. described Houston as a “fine mind. A person that we hoped to be a role model as a black physicist. We care about him. We watched him as an undergraduate develop.”

I don’t find this funny and I think only someone with a twisted outlook that saw humour in what he thinks is a ‘liberal hippies’ breakdown, would.

 

I thought this was rather funny in a "WTF" kind of way.

I repeat the question...

 

Yeah, me too....Why is he "liberal"?

 

That is the kind of proffessor we will be stuck with after all the "liberal, hippy" professors are kicked off campus.

 

I was joking you sourpusses

 

he didnt seem that crazy to me... i mean, he is god... we are all god... he was right about that..

no where in the article does it say where the outburst began from... maybe there was some annoying christian biotch talking about god and he was all like "bitch suck my ****, i am god!"

 

If that guy was my professor, I'd have gotten up and kicked his fucking ass.

 

Co-eds are so stupid these days, they could use a good ass kicking.

 

No one should go to college again because of this, he's ruined the good name of college.

 

Umm... did anyone bother checking to see if one of the students accidently misplaced a couple of E pills in the mans morning coffee. Could explain alot.
