Good.
This college tried to run this bakery out of business, because 'racism.' The bakery had the temerity to call the police on students who were shoplifting while black.
Fuck Oberlin.
Shoplifting + beating an employee.
Not. Good. Enough. Not even close.
It is great that the Gibsons won, but the people responsible received no punishment for this. And they are not going to stop or change their mind because of this.
Honestly, probably nothing will change their minds. But:
that judgement shouldn't come from the college, but rather should be paid collectively by every single Oberlin employee which supported this madness.
Ideally, each of those employees should be fired and permanently barred from working in any educational setting again. But, failing that, each of them should be forced to record a video in which she (or he, but I'm willing to bet a lot if not most of them were Karens) acknowledges the guilt of the students, acknowledges the innocence of the Gibsons, and admits that she was motivated by an insane destructive ideology rather than facts, and that she was perfectly happy to destroy the lives of multiple people just to "start a conversation". These videos should be put on a loop and played 24/7 in Oberlin's Diversity and Inclusion office (or w/e the heck they call it). And every professor who participated should be legally obligated to play her video at the start of every single session of every single one of her classes.
True, but Raimondo did cost the college $44 million, so I'm going to guess her duties and authority is going to be greatly curtailed.....maybe even to the point that she quits or they find a reason to fire her.
Yep. She stepped down in April 2021 from her position in Oberlin, the initial plan had apparently been to return to Oberlin in the upcoming school year as a faculty member, but instead took a job as VP of Student Affairs at Oglethorpe.
It's a prestige downgrade for her, and maybe a small salary downgrade, but if the net result of all this for one of the main perpetrators is "you keep being a VP, just at a smaller school", then this stuff is just going to keep happening.
Both, IMO.
They should personally get fucked, AND the college should get fucked, too. That's the only way to get any remaining sane people in that institution, if there are any, to realize these people have got to go.
The college should be forced to pay the bakery. They're the ones who actually have money. The bakery would be lucky to see anything if the employees had to pay.
After paying the fine the college should be allowed to recoup what they can from the employees who caused all this. Let them deal with that shitshow.
Win-win :D
They'd probably punish the sane ones for 'not supporting the cause' smh.
The college is acting like an organised crime syndicate, and it should be treated like one.
Yeah, 'cause pretty much every other outlet is in on it and wants it memoryholed.
I came.
