Curtis is awesome, I know him pretty well

The laughing kids....disrespectful...period.

it would be even funnier if the desk collapses while he was on it.

I can't believe I watched that whole thing.

@farmvegas09 If that's all you've got then to you Curtis must be the Einstein of political history. 'God' save America.

@JacobEpps60 Think again. Read about The Founding Fathers. I'm not even American, and I can see so much greatness in them that Americans do not grasp.

I give the guy credit. I bet no one was sleeping after this.

Oh no, the blind mafia can live with different opinions and enjoys talking to those who's beliefs differ. However the blind mafia has no use for the scum of the earth.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS... This blind mafia has deleted all my comments. They cannot live with different opinions. It is the dictatorship of 'the elected ones'!! Where is your beloved freedom of speech, Americans??? SHAME ON YOU!!!!

JAut2013, as you say that, you utterly condemn yourself to the barbaric idiocy of those who have no understanding of the meaning, to their own lives, of Individual Rights. Swear and curse all you wish, all it does is reduce you to the barbaric level to which you clearly belong.

RnBramwell I was in his class as the video was being taken. Granted that Mr. Custis' performance isnt Henrys, he has more passion and knowledge in this subject than you could ever give him credit for. He puts more effort into trying inspire his students than Im sure you put forward on a daily basis(not youtube posts) What more could you ask from a teacher? How can a passionate teacher like this not value Henrys words to teach them so? To say that a man of this caliber should be fired is absurd.

What an idiot!! Patrick Henry was a million times better than this bullshit presentation. The teacher has NO idea of the value of the words, or worse, by parody he is ridiculing them. He should be fired!!

Good Teacher, to teach history so wonderfully. Not a real good voice for speaking, but lots of passion.

Well you know what, at least he's doing something to get the kids' attention. It's better than making them sit through a couple hours of one of the most boring topics in school. I applaud this man, he deserves more credit than you are giving him.

MY TEACHER DOES WIERD STUFF LIKE THIS

Well, I figure it because it's true. Normally, teachers don't feel the need to go to these kinds of extremes to teach. Half the time, it's because they don't feel that the kids will listen, the other half it's just for fun. I presume now, since you came to his defense, that it's either A: just for fun, or B: you're in the half that appreciate it. The second part of my comment, about the kids in your class, was preceded by "probably." In most schools, my comment would be dead accurate.

Two sad things about this video. One, that the teacher feels he has to do this to get the kids to pay attention and retain the information... and two, that probably half the kids there don't appreciate the effort he's putting into teaching them.

The closest I ever got to witnessing anything like this in school was when I went to visit my art teacher at the end of the day and he was "sword fighting" with the other art teacher while they BOTH stood on desks. Most of my teachers were as fun as a root canal.

um wow that seams like something my teach would do

Passionate. That is what Mr. Custis is. Bravo sir.

Custis you are the best teacher ever!! The Patrick Henry Speech is a tradition in Fuqua haha...unforgettable! Mauricio V.

I am a teacher and this guy is 1: drunk as a mofo 2: needs to get rid of the books 3: must connect to his studnet. He FAILS!!!!!

aren't laptops allowed in most colleges?

hahahah Reminds Me of my teligion teacher

crazy ass

Umm, no, she is on Microsoft Word. How do you say that she is on aim, just because she has a window open???
