(12/12) Those values -- moral arrogance, ideology-induced prejudgments, indifference to evidence -- are, to continue using the progressive patois, the root causes of Oberlin's descent beyond caricature and into disgrace.

(11/12) Oberlin's president defiantly says "none of this will sway us from our core values."

(10/12) in impeccable progressive-speak, accuses the bakery of an "archaic chase-and-detain" policy regarding shoplifters and insists that "the guilt or innocence of the students is irrelevant" to the -- of course -- "root cause" of the protests against the bakery.

(9/12) Oberlin alumni who are exhorted to contribute to this college, which has been made stupid and mendacious by politics, should ponder where at least $22 million is going. Continuing to do what it denies ever doing -- siding against the bakery -- Oberlin, ...

(8/12) The shoplifting incident occurred the day after the 2016 presidential election, which Oberlin's president and dean of students partially blamed for students' "pain and sadness" and "fears and concerns" during the "difficult few days" after the "events" at the bakery.

(7/12) The combination of malice and mendacity precluded a free-speech defense, and the jury accepted the obvious: The college's supposed adults were complicit in this protracted smear.

(6/12) The college also signaled support for the protests by suspending college purchases from the bakery for two months. A jury in the defamation trial awarded the bakery $11 million from Oberlin, and $33 million more in punitive damages.

(5/12) The warriors mounted a protracted campaign against the bakery's reputation and solvency. According to court documents, the administration purchased pizza for the protesters and authorized the uses of student funds to buy gloves for protesters.

(4/12) Some social justice warriors -- they evidently cut class the day critical thinking was taught -- instantly accused the bakery of racially profiling the shoplifter, an accusation complicated by the fact that the shoplifter and his partners in assault pleaded guilty.

(3/12) In November 2016, a clerk in Gibson's Bakery, having seen a black Oberlin student shoplifting bottles of wine, pursued the thief. The thief and two female friends were, according to the police report, kicking and punching the clerk on the ground when the police arrived.

(1/12) Oberlin College has an admirable liberal past and a contemptible progressive present that will devalue its degrees far into the future. It has, however, long since become a byword for academic self-caricature...
