Speaker 1 (00:00):
She has the practice club. Bitch. Who's donkey of the
day today? Wow, Donkey of Today from Monday February goes
to Michael Abram. Who is Michael Abram. He is a
professor at Oxnard College, and he has been placed on
administrative leave for harshly criticizing the student. Now, let the
record show, Uh, this story is exactly why Homer Simpson
makes this noise. Yes, Okay, this story is exactly why
(00:24):
Homer Simpson backed away slowly into the bushes. Okay. See,
some of us just read rooms wrong. Some of us
don't read the room at all. I would say Michael
Abram didn't read the room at all, because if he did,
he would know his students a little better. See, Michael
Abram was chastising one of his students, badgering his student
(00:45):
because he thought his student wasn't listening to him. He
thought his student was ignoring him. He thought this student
wasn't paying attention. He thought this student wasn't listening. But
that was not the case. Let's go to ABC seven
for the report. Police professor at ox Start College is
suspended under investigation after TikTok videos appear to show him
yelling at a student with hearing loss. Salazar, I've been
(01:07):
talking to you, miss Salazar. Can you a little bit?
You can hear me a little bit? Why didn't you
answer all the times I answered I spoke to you. Then?
It is painful video to watch a professor at ox
Stard College berating a heart of hearing students, Have your
counselor speak with me, because you've got too much distraction
to even understand what's going on. Yes, do it, because
(01:28):
my trends that just maketure me explaining everything they see. Okay,
so maybe just have them teach you the whole class.
That makes sense to me. I don't know. I don't
understand it, but I see you laughing and smiling and
giggling with somebody else. At one point, a fellow student
(01:48):
steps into help professor. She's actually hard of hearing because
her hands later goes in a little bit, can respond
like right away, she's not attention, she's not trying. This afternoon,
the Ventura County Community College District holding a press conference
to announce that Professor Michael Abram, who has tenure at
the school, has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. Yeah,
(02:15):
in case you don't understand. She's deaf. She can't hear you, Michael, Okay,
this is worth than when you make a your mama
joke and the person tells you that their mom is dead.
That never happened. Anybody in this room hand if that's
never happened, Lord, have mercy. Looking at all these problematic
individuals me envied dramas. My God, I don't think even
Homer Simpson has done something that's dumb. And Home has
(02:38):
been around for thirty years and he's done a lot
of dumb things. But what makes this even worse is
even after the professor is told that the student has
a translator and that the student is hard of hearing,
he answers, she's not paying attention, she's not trying. This
whole situation got me thinking, who really can't hear in
this situation is that the student ought to teach him?
Because once the teacher heard that this student how to
(03:00):
translator and was hard of hearing, the only thing that
should that should have came after that was an apology.
That's it, an apology and a whole lot of empathy.
But no, that's not the way d head momentum works.
See Dick Tracy. Had momentum is when a person can't
stop theirselves. They tried, even when they know they are wrong,
(03:21):
they just keep pushing, all right. In fact, they double down,
triple down, press the gas, throw more fuel on the
dick Van Dike had fire and that's what keeps the
d head momentum going. And then eventually that d had
momentum causes whatever it's propelling to crash and burn. Now,
Michael Abram has been put on administratively. Even if I
was the boy, I would act like I couldn't hear
(03:42):
him when he tried to get ran stated, excuse me,
say what you want to come back where? Huh We
can't hear you, Michael, But I hope you hear this.
Please let me give Michael Abram the biggest he hall
he ha, he ha. You're stupid, dumb. That's just cruel
and unusual punishment, bro, especially after you find out what
the issue is with this person and you keep pushing. Uh.
(04:07):
Donkey today is brought to you by the law office
of Michael s Lam and Saft. Don't be a donkey.
Dive pound to fifty on your cell and say the
bull if you've been hurting a construction accident. That's pound
two five old from your cell and say the bull
