Texas professor fails his entire class for 'lacking competence'

 Irwin Horwitz, a professor at Texas A&M Galveston failed an entire class, and he outlined his reasons in a fiery email sent to those students.

According to him his spring 2015 students were the worst he's seen in 20 years of teaching college students. He informed the students of their failing grades in an email to the entire class.

"This class is unique. I have never failed a class, it is very rare that I fail students, sometimes learning incorporates tough love".

In his email, Horwitz also announced that he was quiting teaching the course, in addition to failing the students:

"None of you, in my opinion, given the behavior in this class, deserve to pass, or graduate to become an Aggie, as you do not in any way embody the honor that the university holds graduates should have within their personal character. It is thus for these reasons why I am officially walking away from this course. 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 ... I will no longer be teaching the course, and all are being awarded a failing grade."
