Are You Shocked the Union Went to His Defense?

This guy is a lunatic. The most disturbing thing is that he's been a professor at the university in question for 27 years. Michigan professor suspended after video called 'disturbing'.

A Michigan university professor has been placed on leave for a profanity-laced class introduction that included his warning that he randomly assigns grades before the first day of class.

“I don’t even want to know your name,” said Barry Mehler of Ferris State University. “I just look at the number and assign a grade. That is how predestination works. … Take your complaints to God.”

So when the university suspended him, the union lept into action.

Charles Bacon, a physics and chemistry professor who is president of Ferris State’s faculty union, told the publication Inside Higher Ed that the union considers Mehler’s suspension an “attack on academic freedom and a part of the continued attempt nationally to enforce uniformity on faculty and intimidate higher education faculty by suppressing intellectual discourse.”

Tenure means never having to say you're sorry for being a lunatic. Or something.
