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 can remember when college professors wore coat and tie and looked like professionals, or it was their career.

As most are these days, the prof is probably a left-wing moonbat. Seems pretty normal behavior for them. (I assume the toboggan is the type of cap, and not an actual sled.)

He was wearing a sled? That’s unusual.

I predict they’ll make that wingnut Professor Emeritus of Islamic studies. I’ll bet $20 on it!

Yes, exactly right. I went to all my colleges in the 70’s and 90’s. Even in the 90’s dress codes were relaxing...I remember looking at a professor’s knobby knees and thinking, “I wonder if he thinks they are attractive or if he even cares?”

Ha ha ha... Thanks. I live in the South but never heard that term. But Florida really isn’t the South.

“Toboggan” is the usually-Canadian term for a long woolen knit cap. When I was a kid in Erie, PA, we called it a “toboggan” but then we’re pretty close to Canada.

for those of you in Rio Linde, a toboggan is a knit cap. A navy watch cap is a toboggan

Yeah, and then we will know how seriously those teacher evaluations are that they hand out to the students at the end of the semester.

This is what the “professor” said when asked about his weird behavior:

“I’m a Muslim.”
