None shall pass: Texas prof flunks entire class, then quits mid-semester

A professor threw a Texas-sized tantrum flunking his entire class mid-semester and quitting after complaining that students mocked, threatened and ridiculed him, but the school said the failing grades won't all stand.

"I am frankly and completely disgusted,"Texas A&M Galveston, Professor Irwin Horwitz told his business management students in a blast e-mail, according to Inside Higher Ed.

"I will no longer be teaching the course, and [you] all are being awarded a failing grade."
