"He was just a very aggravated student, a rude, obnoxious type of person," she said. "He came across as very aggressive and mean, and seemed to have a lot of issues with being angry."

I posted on another thread about how political correctness has damaged our professional schools. Students who are clearly not suitable for a given profession are too often allowed to invest significant time and money toward a goal that they will never achieve. Ideally, students like this would never gain admission to professional school, or would be weeded out very early. Instead, they are allowed to languish while faculty members turn a blind eye, lest they be labeled "insensitive" or worse.

I'm not in any way excusing his behavior, you understand......just pointing out that this "you can be anything you want to be" crap needs to stop.

As an older RN I can remember an extensive interview peocess being done, the standard procedure, before gaining entrance to nursing school. This helped to eliminate those that had personality difficulties/authority issues. Not any more, they take any one to the detriment of us all. The PC way strikes again.
