Human societies suck. Should have let that idiot become Professor of Arts. Failure can lead a human to do desperate things. Not defending him but humans definitely need to stop telling each other, "No, you can't accomplish this or that". Just let people do whatever they want, as long as they don't run afoul of the prevailing laws.
 
His failure to become a great artist had happened well before this later event. He applied, and failed his entrance exam to The Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907 and1908. He just didn't have the talent to become a great artist. He was supposedly more inclined to drawing architecture than actually creating art. And he didn't really work very hard at it.

I read an article recently that pointed out that the Bauhaus crowd weren't exclusively victims of the Nazis - the Bauhaus faculty and students were divided between victims of the Nazis and at least a few enthusiastic supporters of them.

And the "arbiet macht frei" sign at the entrance to Auschwitz uses a font created by a former Bauhaus student (it seems, as far as I can tell, that it's still quite unclear to what extent he worked willingly or was under extreme duress, but clearly the Nazis weren't totally opposed to the Bauhaus style).
