A professor at Texas A&M Galveston failed an entire class, and he outlined his reasons in a fiery email sent to those students.
But the university won't quite be backing up the professor's actions.
In the email professor Irwin Horwitz sent to his students, he called them a disgrace to the school. He said he will no longer be teaching the course and will be giving everyone in the class a failing grade.
"Enough was enough," Horwitz said.
After what he calls a semester of disrespect, backstabbing, lying, and cheating, Horwitz had all he could take.
"Yesterday I reached the breaking point," he said.
He sent a lengthy email to his Strategic Management class explaining that they would all be failing the course. He said the students proved to be incompetent and lack the maturity level to enter the workforce.
"It became apparent that they couldn't do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do," said Horwitz.
In the email he cited examples of students cheating, telling him to "chill out," and inappropriate conduct. He said students spread untrue rumors about him online, and he said at one point he even felt the need to have police protection in class.
"I was dealing with cheating, dealing with individuals swearing at me both in and out of class, it got to the point that the school had to put security guards at that class and another class," said Horowitz.

The Professor should fail these lazybones...
Yikes. Sounds as bad as HISD.
I took my strategic management class over the summer on a fluke. My department head signed off on it because he wasn’t paying attention.
That class was horribly difficult at my college. I wouldn’t have failed, but it made the last semester for my classmates hell. The prof was a hard ass.
I would just sit back a sip a beer as they trudged off to workshops and study groups three nights a week.
I will be that most of the moms and dads were married when you were in school.
This ain’t your daddy’s culture anymore.
You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about!
I side with the teacher too. I have friend who teaches high school science. Neff said.
We were fortunate to have a school and community that was not out of control and violent to raise the kids. It was mostly Christian and Jewish. But it cost a lot of money to live there. Most of the families had morals. Even so, we had to supplement the children’s education and keep a tight hold on them.
I guess things are just going to get worse and worse in the US now. I think it is going to go down faster, too. Obama and the globalists have seen to that. Short of a miracle, we are sunk as a Nation. Maybe I have to stop looking.
My wife and I chose to home school our four kids due to the fact that we were building a fledgling business when they were young, and really couldn't afford private schools. We lived in a decent community on the far outskirts of Los Angeles at the time, so the environment was peaceful and safe for them. Not a gang banger or urban feral within twenty miles.
Our personal choice has worked out well for us. We've managed to shelter our kids from the worst of what's out there in the jungle, while schooling them to a better standard that what they would have received in a gov't school.
You would be right. I don't remember any kids with only one parent at home, when I was young. It was a different age, and a different America that I grew up in.
My kids are in their teens, and they tell me that they're considered to be rare, because they come from an intact, nuclear family.
