That's it, I'm retired'

An 88-year-old professor at the University of Georgia declared his retirement during a class when a student refused to wear her face mask properly.

Professor Irwin Bernstein told the University of Georgia's student newspaper, the Red & Black, that one of his students had shown up to his class on the second day of school without a mask. When a peer gave the student a mask to wear in class, she did not wear it across her face properly. She said she found it difficult to breathe with the mask over her nose, the most effective way to wear a face covering, according to health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bernstein had asked her numerous times to wear the mask correctly, he told the Red & Black. The student ignored each request, he said.

"Whereas I had risked my life to defend my country while in the Air Force, I was not willing to risk my life to teach a class with an unmasked student during this Pandemic," Bernstein, who taught psychology, said.

1. The unmitigated and complete selfishness of some people is truly amazing to behold

if I were in that class and thanks to her had to take an 8 am class I would be livid. I would be even more livid if I had to shuffle other classes thanks to this selfish ass.

2. What you said. If I'd been a fellow student in that class,which is required to graduate in the major

…. I’d have given her a tongue-lashing she’d never forget.

What an entitled snot-nosed brat!

4. Shi...

I'd sue her sorry ass.

6. Meh. Suing costs money -- and I was a stone-broke student. nt

7. Good point.

Guilting may not work on her, though.

8. An excoriating tongue-lashing is about shame more than guilt.

5. And who can blame him for walking out - anti-maskers put his life in danger

Along with everyone else in the class.
