Aggression

In an email response from an instructor to my request for an extension on assignments they replied: 

"Not only is this a complete disrespect to deadlines but your misplaced entitled attitude is also an abuse of my leniency and attempts I have made to accommodate you. Furthermore, accepting all the missing assignments (some of them almost three months late) now - after you’ve disregarded the second chance - would be highly unfair and unjust to every other student who was required to submit on time - which I would consider a violation of THEIR rights."

The part that stands out to me is “your misplaced entitled attitude”. I am a disabled, gay, hiv+ Mi’kmaq living on less than 15,000/yr while putting myself through university in my mid-40s. 

So by advocating for myself, I am infringing on the rights of the majority?
