Nutty Professor: Teacher Reportedly Strips, Screams There Is No God During Math Class Meltdown (*With Pic*)

A Michigan State University (MSU) professor was taken into protective custody Monday after suffering an apparent nervous breakdown mid-class, stripping off his clothes and running around shouting obscenities.

Gawker relates the eyewitness account of someone purportedly in the man's class, who first posted the story on Reddit:

I was in Calc 1 at Michigan State University, and my teacher was always pretty eccentric, but today he went overboard. Half way through class he started screaming at us, swearing left and right. He then started slamming his hands on the window and pressing his face against it, still screaming. Eventually he walked out and down the hallway to the end, all while screaming. He then came back into the classroom and took off his clothes, except for his socks. You know someones crazy when they leave their socks on lmao. At this point everyone in class ran out. We were literally scared for his life. The police took about 15 minutes to get here, and during this time he continued walking around screaming.

Another student said the teacher was yelling "there is no f***ing God!" while running down the hallway, and a number of other students corroborated the claim.

The student who posted the photo of the incident sarcastically added: “My math teacher just stripped naked during class and was arrested! Go MSU!”

Another student recalled:

He was ranting about computers, Steve Jobs(pronounced Jobes), and how everything is just an act. He ran into the hallway and pressed his face up against the windows to the room and said something about him not yelling. Then he ran back in and started crying and pulled a dollar out of his wallet for some reason. At this point we all knew he had completely lost it. He started yelling profanities and something about God. He went into the hallway and continued yelling as he made his way through the building. Class got out early so I don’t know for sure what happened then.

We could all tell this was going to happen from day one. He was always acting odd and having small rants, but it was just a matter of time before this happened. He would make odd analogies about wife beating, as well as other things that didn’t standout to me as much.

The university has not released any information about the professor's medical diagnosis, or whether he was under the influence of drugs or medication at the time of the incident.
