Physics Professor Goes on Rage in Class

Wed Oct 13,11:12 PM ET Strange News - AP

LAFAYETTE, La. - A University of Louisiana at Lafayette physics professor was banned from the campus Wednesday and taken to the coroner's office for evaluation after threatening his class, university officials said.

Student Kacie Spears said professor Louis Houston lost control right after class began Wednesday morning and was yelling obscenities.

"Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now", so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told KATC-TV.

Spears said Houston slapped a student and then told his class he was God.

After class ended, students left the room in Broussard Hall and someone called campus security.

Houston was taken to campus police to answer questions. Officials then evacuated Broussard Hall and canceled all classes there while police searched the building. University police contacted the FBI (news - web sites), State Police, and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Department Intelligence Unit for assistance.

A bomb dog was also brought in to check for explosives, but nothing was found.

Spears said it wasn't the first time Houston had an outburst in class.

"He's always acted a little strange, he's yelled and cursed before, and this time we waited for it to stop, but it never did," Spears says.

Law enforcement officers transported Houston to the Lafayette Parish Coroner's Office to be evaluated for possible involuntary commitment to a mental health facility. In the meantime, Houston has been banned from the university's campus and his faculty duties have been suspended.

University officials said in a statement they would make a final decision about Houston's employment once a full investigation into the incident is complete.

Hey, how weird is it that he was taken to the coroners office.

Talk about passing your problems onto someone else.

"Good morning Bob, we got another looney for you to keep company til we figure out what to do with him."

"Um, this is a coroners office....WTF...not a county jail or a mental asylum."

"Thats ok, just dont let him touch the scalpels and there wont be a problem. I gotta go, Krispy Kreme is having their day-old donut sale, bye."

So crazy outbursts get to go to the coroners office....where do the murderers go to???

Not in my world they didn't. If anything, teachers aren't allowed to put the fear of God in our kids anymore. Not like when I was in school. Sister Rebbeca could smack a knuckle with the best of em.

Hell, I'm scarred for life just remembering one of the Nuns walking over me during nap time and I opened my eyes just in time to get an eye full of Old granny panties and varicose veins.

our elementary school allowed the principal to spank kids. They had to have parents permission, but they did it.

My high school allowed coaches to beat us (well anyone could really)...and they'd sometimes get a running start.

Didn't have to have any permission as well...the good ole days where you could beat the crap out of kids.

** had great academic grades but shoddy citizenship grades **

Well, if you would hurry and graduate elementary school, it wouldn't be a problem.
