Oberlin College, found by Jury liable for $11m to Gibson's Bakery for calling it racist, may triple (3x) in punitive stage

We are one family, all from Africa.

Of course the students are liable, but they won’t get sued because there’s no money in that.

That's great that you're from Africa.

It's a good thing i'm out of the family from China though.

Good thing that organisms popped up in multiple different places in the pond at the same time.

Nice try though. Scientists are wrong.

Wrong, Chinese originated in Africa, multiple migrations.

This case has its own Wikipedia entry now, so far. Appeals process ongoing.

Liberals are ruining this country

Indians? I thought it was the Amish.

What in the world are the school’s trustees thinking?

A more charitable explanation, perhaps, involves money — or the lack thereof. These days, Oberlin College is pinched for cash. It has operated for several years at a deficit, and it has struggled, amidst a torrent of bad publicity, to meet its enrollment targets. Oberlin has shuttered several buildings to save on heating and maintenance costs. It has also announced plans to eliminate approximately two dozen faculty positions over the next few years.

It’s likely that most or all of Oberlin’s endowment assets are held in trust and are therefore unavailable for the purpose of paying a judgement. And, by virtue of being held in trust, the endowment’s assets may be protected and beyond the reach of a judgment creditor.

The final seconds of the game unfold in a way that is at once thrilling and excruciating. The noise level suggests that there may be a few thousand fans inside the gym, as opposed to the 200 actually present. Then, just at the buzzer, Oberlin sinks a three-pointer to tie the game. Whew! After this momentous reversal of fortune, the overtime period plays out as an afterthought. The Bishops have lost faith, and Oberlin pulls away to win by a margin of nine points.

Now they've spliced in with Cleveland media conglomerates (with more lawyer firms in tow), who claim it's in the best interests of the public for the grandson's FB account to be unsealed (even though the Defendants never brought this forth as evidence in the trial, and they were only submitted in the first place on the grounds they'd be confidential anyway).

After two (2) months, the trial judge now queries to be briefed on whether the trial court even has jurisdiction, now that Oberlin has pulled their trigger on appealing. Not the right tactics byu them, but then it's always been about abusing the process to harrass the Gibsons anyway (one of them has died already).

We all everyone knows Oberlin will just "leak" the confidential FaceBook data whenever they please, with suitable denialability that no-one will ever face any real consequences. Maybe a useless "contempt of court" write-up or something. But of/c they'd also rather keep this Damoclean sword hanging over the Gibson's head for as long as possible too. No reason to let the air out of the ball, when you can persecute instead.

Oberlin so broke they are trying to save money by using NONUNION food workers and janitors. We'll see if the Protests are teed up for this "shared sacrifice".....

We have posted information at

, including an extensive set of frequently asked questions.

Pragmatism always wins, pulling those on the ideological fringes back into the real world. The ideologues that have kept Oberlin at least marginally relevant for so many years have lost touch with any sense of pragmatism, to their detriment.

What does it say that a school so cash starved is spending huge amounts of money to fight an obviously losing, and wrong, battle? It says that the ideologues haven't been forced into the light of pragmatic reality, yet. The community surrounding Oberlin hates what the school has become, the school is reviled in most reasonable quarters, supported by a small contingent of darkness on the fringe. What was a beautiful little school that embraced righteous battles, and the purity to be found in music, has become a bastion of fringe ugliness and toxicity.

It's time for the school to remake itself into some semblance of goodness. Many of the poisonous souls who have run Oberlin into dark waters need to be sanctioned and jettisoned. As long as they keep up this wrong fight, they are falling deeper. If the school stays this course, I hope it fails and becomes farmers' land again.

Wrong! Courts are shutting down with the virus, babe. This appeal will last a million years.

Ha! I'll give that one to you. What'll it matter when it becomes a Zombie Apocalypse University?

The bakers will be bankrupt in two months. School’s out, babe.

OK yeah, sure. Is this really the time for this? Can't we hate on each other when we've all gotten through the ongoing crisis?

Sorry, babe. Stupid bakers better get back to bread. No one cares about them now.

Hi Garbage,

Please respond to disinformation trolls like Baba Yaga on your thread. Why are you avoiding it?

Hello supporters of Gibson’s ridiculous lawsuit,

Great news, because of the virus, no one will ever care about your mythical grievances.

I predict the college will have an excess of safe spaces, forever.

Oberlin and the SJW wokesters go home devastated!

I was looking for a thread on this to bump, but I see I was beaten to it. Good day for America!
