Last week, this video sneaked its way onto YouTube and quickly garnered attention. It shows Fort Hays State University debate professor and Dartmouth Debate Institute's 2008 debate instructor William Shanahan getting into a yelling match with University of Pittsburgh professor Shanara Reid-Brinkley over a matter of race. Reid-Brinkley, who is African-American, had accused the Fort Hays team of dropping her as a judge because she was black.

This yelling match resulted in Shanahan dropping his shorts and mooning the audience.

Now Shanahan's in a bit of a pickle with the higher-ups. As word spread about this highly entertaining dance of the debate douches (literally, Shanahan jumps in anger several times and shakes his beard around), it caught the attention of the Fort Hays State administration. This incident is now being investigated by the university.

"This is bulls---. Your anger is bulls---," Reid-Brinkley bellows in the video. "You're a f---ing a--hole!"

Shanahan leaps up from his seat on the floor, yells at Reid-Brinkley and starts jumping up and down wildly.

"I know I'm a f---ing a--hole!" he yells, turning around and pulling down his shorts briefly to the flabbergasted people watching.

The two professors continue shouting, getting into each other's faces and following each other around the room, despite efforts to break up the nearly 9-minute-long screaming match.

At one point Shanahan pushes another faculty member who tries to intervene. [Link]
