About a quarter of students in an organic chemistry class at New York University signed a petition against their renowned 84-year-old professor, claiming the class was simply too hard. NYU responded by letting the students withdraw from the class, and firing the professor. (NYT)

Note to self, get the names of those students and make sure they never operate on any of my loved ones. It was an Orgsnic Chem class, it is supposed to be hard. Most of those students didn’t show up to class, do the readings or watch the videos he assigned. Welcome to the era of laziness and entitlement. We’re doomed.

So sad that 75 percent of the students won’t have the opportunity of being taught by that professor because of whining lazy moronic students. Nothing democratic or fair about it!
