A tenured Michigan university professor has been placed on leave after he told students in a profanity-laced video that he didn't want to know anything about them because they were 'just vectors of disease.'
Barry Mehler, 74, a tenured history professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, posted the 14-minute video on Sunday, a day before the Spring 2022 semester began.
In the video, he told students that it didn't matter how hard they worked in his class because he randomly predetermined their grades prior to the semester.
'None of you… are good enough to earn an A in my class,' Mehler said. 'So I randomly assign grades before the first day of class. I don't want to know anything about you. I don't even want to know your name. I just look at the number and I assign a grade. That is how predestination works...
'And don't come… complaining to me. Take your complaints to God.'
Mehler has been teaching at Ferris for nearly 30 years in the humanities department and is the director of the university's Institute for the Study of Academic Racism, according to his bio on the university's website that has since been deleted.
Mehler introduced himself at the beginning of the video wearing what he described as a helmet equipped with filters to protect him from the coronavirus.
'I will not take questions in class because I'm wearing this... helmet in order to stay alive,' he said.
Mehler is one of many professors who has expressed concern about returning to in-person learning during the pandemic.

He’s only saying what the vast majority of mask-Karens actually believe.
What a whack-job.
LOL! “Oh dear!, Oh Dear!!”.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend watching this video. We all need a good laugh.
Amen!
Calvinst = “Some Lives Matter”
LOL thats like no calvinist i have ever heard
Big surprise, not! The more these educators envelope themselves in a biased system, the more it re-affirms their insanity.
Here is a link to the video, for those of you who didn’t click on the full article:

Mehler is retiring at the end of the academic year, so I suspect that either he has dementia, he wanted to go out with an “FU” statement to university administrators, or both.
LOL...to a calvinist all lives matter since all are created Imago Dei
He says he is basing his predeterminism on Calvinism. The whole video comes off as a farce. If taken as a farce, it is hilarious (lots of profanity however). If he wasn’t doing a schtick....he has serious mental issues. Reminds me of Peter Finch in Network.
selfish, anal, bitter and afraid all the time....
That IS the wisdom of old age...
LOL...Seen it before; done it before; didn’t think much of before and afraid you people can’t see it.
I bet he wears it to bed with his onesie PJs.
.
Oh. My Alma Mater in the news. That’s rare.
One fry short of a Happy Meal!
He is on Zoom. He doesn’t need to be wearing the mask and the fishbowl.
This is Ground Control to Major Karen(or whatever the male version is.)
That would be ,”None of you … IS good enough … “. I’d give you a D in Grammar.
