Professor loses it over zoom rant. I get that the guy was retiring but it sounds like he's gone mental. Maybe having tenured professors is not the best idea.
Quote:
Mehler told students that "civilization is collapsing" and "life on your planet is going extinct," before telling students that they are "vectors of disease."
You people are just vectors of disease to me and I don't want to be anywhere near you, so keep your ****ing distance. If you want to talk to me, come to my zoom," Mehler said.
Mehler also told students that he is beholden to "no human c-sucker" and has a "paying ****ing union job."
I stand before you today beholden to no human c-sucker and working a paying ****ing union job and no limber dk of an administrator is going to tell me how to teach my classes because I'm a ****ing tenured professor," Mehler said.
He had a message for students who wanted to file a complaint with their dean: "**** you."
"If you want to go complain to your dean, **** you, go ahead, I'm retiring at the end of this year and I couldn't give a flying **** any longer," Mehler said.
He later said that the speech he gave was adapted from an episode form HBO's Deadwood and used it to address the issue of plagiarism.

Mehler also told students in the video that they have "no control" over their grades.
"You don't have a thing to worry about, because there's absolutely nothing you can do, you have no control over your grade. It doesn't matter how ****ing hard you work or how great your grades are. My grading system is based on the Calvinist doctrine of predestination."
I figure if it was good enough for America, it's good enough for me. The Indians didn't lose because they failed. They tried everything and nothing worked, because the universe doesn't give a **** about justice, it's all predestination, and you all are predestined to lose just like the Indians," he added.

The professor added that he does "randomly assign grades before the first day of class," and told students that he will wear the space helmet to class.
"I don't want to know **** about you, I don't even want to know your name. I just look at the number and I assign a grade. That's how predestination works. And don't come ****ing complaining to me, take your complaints to God. He ordained this system, not me."
"When I look out at a classroom filled with 50 students, I see 50 selfish kids who don't give a **** whether grandpa lives or dies. And if you won't expose your grandpa to a possible infection with COVID then stay the **** away from me," he said.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FJB TRUMP 2024.
