- An 88-year-old professor says, “You know what? I don’t need this shit,” and walks out when a student won’t pull her mask up over her nose. Good for him.UGA professor resigns mid-class after student refuses to wear mask | Campus News | redandblack.com redandblack.com/uganews/uga-pr…
- Just a reminder that six months ago the governor and our police chief had literally a thousand cops and national guardsmen, armored vehicles, a helicopter and snipers on rooftops for an entirely peaceful BLM demonstration in little old Athens.
- The next person who tells me it’s important for college students’ mental health to socialize has to explain to my 6-year-old why she’s only seen three kids her own age the past six months.
