Ignorant shallow people are everywhere. I like to think that people that make cruel and ignorant remarks clearly do not understand the power of the spoken word. I feel bad that this happened to you, however take comfort that your not alone in over hearing such hurtful comments. The last time I over heard someone making a snarky remark that referred to myself, I confronted the person right away and repeated the statement to her face (in front of her group) and asked if I had "heard her correctly or misunderstood". Needless to say she shut right up.

The link I posted (hopefully it works) explains the treatment from a few nasty TV viewers towards a local news weather person who is pregnant with her second child and how it has effected her. It's just so uncalled for and sad.

I think you should continue doing what your comfortable doing. I get you don't want to go back as the instructor has brought this forward to the class, but the flip side of that is you may be pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome back from the non-*****y class members.
