O ne college professor found his students so hopeless that he flunked them all and quit the course. In an email to his management class at Texas A&M Galveston, professor Irwin Horwitz came down hard.
“I am frankly and completely disgusted. You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level,” he wrote, according to Inside Higher Ed. “I will no longer be teaching the course, and [you] all are being awarded a failing grade.”

In the message, Horwitz said students had cheated, told him to “chill out,” called him a “[expletive] moron” and spread false rumors about him online. He told KPRC news he even felt unsafe in the classroom at times, and had never thought so low of a class in his 20 years as a college professor.
