Tarrant College students leave class after professor's unusual behavior

Students attending a lecture at Tarrant County College were so frightened by their professor's behavior during a recent class that they had to leave the room.

When TCC Adjunct Professor Daniel Mashburn walked into his Astronomy class Tuesday night, several students were alarmed by his behavior. Some thought it was a joke while others called police.

Student April McLeod says her teacher got to class about 20 minutes late and turned off the lights and was wearing a ball cap, a toboggan, a scarf over his face and gloves. She says Mashburn never took any of it off even when police questioned him after responding to calls from students.

I was thinking “ski mask,” but that’s a balaclava.

People today dismiss dress as superficial and inconsequential, but I’m of the belief that the way one dresses has a powerful influence on behavior, and commands respect and the resultant behavior from others.

Didn’t go to the full article, but can guess with probability of correctness approaching 99% that the subject is one of those worthless fifth grade social something or other courses. You know, the ones that the D students take in order to graduate and get a government or journalism job.

Or perhaps sharing his mind and soul with Allah, the Moon god. Demonic religion means bad juju.

Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, commonly referred to as PTC, is one of the oldest existing roller coaster manufacturing companies in the world. Based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, it was established in 1904 by Henry Auchey and Chester Albright under the name Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The company manufactured carousels, wooden roller coasters, toboggans (roller coaster cars) and later, roller coaster trains.

The title of professor used to command a lot of respect.
But, everything liberalism touches, it destroys....everything....even the title of professor.
Today’s “professors” are insane....totally insane.

From the Fox article:

“Students say the professor talked about the Koran and the moon and the dark night and seemed incoherent and never discussed anything astronomy-related.

“Mostly he was talking about different things of the Muslim faith,” McLeod said. “I was in class for about five minutes. He kept messing with his pocket and you could tell there was an object in the right-hand pocket. And whenever he went to pull out his hand, I started having this really bad feeling and jumped up and ran out of the classroom.”

Maybe he was just tired of being viewed as a sex object and tried to create a culturally appropriate burka.

He is being radicalized in his ‘Off” time and could be having trouble facing the fact that his faith is calling him to blow other humans to smithereens.

Wise move on the school for the indefinite suspension. Tomorrow he probably would have pushed the button on his suicide vest and killed everyone in the classroom.
