Oberlin Bites

Excellent news, the Legal Insurrection website reports a jury awarded Gibson’s bakery the maximum of $22 million in punitive damages against defendant Oberlin College. Oberlin had supported radical students who claimed the bakery had engaged in racial discrimination for calling the cops on several shoplifting students of color. Those students later confessed to the shoplifting.

University administrators across the country need to pay attention to this outcome. It is likely Oberlin’s insurer won’t pay off without a fight, as they view Oberlin’s “woke” behavior as both imprudent and indefensible.

As Glenn Reynolds reminds us, “get woke, go broke.” Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
