Good on him, but not for the circumstances he lists.
Texas A&M Galveston Professor Hits ‘Breaking Point,’ Fails Entire Class
April 27, 2015 11:27 AM
Galveston, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) — A Texas A&M Galveston professor says he hit a “breaking point†as he failed an entire class of students in his management course that he said required “security guards†for him to feel safe teaching.
In a scathing email sent to students in his Strategic Management class, Texas A&M Galveston professor Irwin Horwitz called his class a disgrace to the school and said “it became apparent they couldn’t do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do,†KPRC-TV reports. Horwitz said a semester of backstabbing, lying, cheating and disrespect has caused him to fail everyone in the class and that he will no longer be teaching the course.
“Enough was enough,†Horwitz wrote in the email obtained by KPRC. “Yesterday I reached the breaking point.â€
The lengthy, fiery email to students explained to students why they would all be receiving failing grades, included is Horwitz’s claim that the students were spreading untrue online rumors about his wife and that he felt threatened enough to physically teach the course that he required police protection.
“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. He said students’ complete lack of maturity and general incompetence proved they weren’t fit to enter the workforce.
Again, good on him for doing this. Not so good about the reasons why, but someone had to take a stand. Let's see if the school keeps the grades in place.

Well, they're bringing in a replacement prof and they said in the article that the failing grades wouldn't stand till the end of the class. Sounds to me like they're going to throw the prof under the bus.
