I believe they already got it: "Oberlin College fully pays" is the headline.
Since the award was $25M and Oberlin paid $36.6M after interest, my assumption is that most of the $11.6M difference is attorney's fees, so the family probably cleared $25M plus interest, tax free, out of all this.
It takes a while for these to work, and the Left already have a huge head start on us regarding lawfare.
That being said, I think the legal system does have some areas we can work with considering the Title IX Tribunal system was destroyed buy a multiplicity of federal lawsuits (and Betsy DeVos receding the 'Dear Colleague' memo, peace and blessings be upon her), and I think we can pursue legitimate damage claims by both adults and children who have undergone transitioning.
The surviving kids and mentally ill that have been castrated should absolutely have a right to file lawsuits against everyone involved in the process. It might be harder for some of the adults, but we are hearing them claim shit like "no one even told me that there were alternatives" and "when I wanted to de-transition, the doctors hung-up on me"; so I think there might be some medical malpractice in the system regarding informed consent. The surviving children, unfortunately, have better cases due to the illegality of the crimes committed against them. The fact that Boston Hospital has already identified that 30% of their """gender affirmation""" surgeries have been done to people under the age of 18, against both their own policies as well as international policies of "trangender care", means that a lot of these places are already exposing themselves to enormous legal risk for that 'cutting-up-the-children' money. Even if the hospitals say, "You can't blame us, the parent's said it was cool!"; there's a huge problem with violating your own procedures in preforming the castrations anyway.
Their insurance paid it. They acted like a spoiled 15 year-old girl sitting in the corner chair as her mom and dad writes a check to cover the damage she did.
I assume yeah if you're the insuring party there, if you see that these people have no remorse and would probably do the same thing again, you don't insure them lightly.
If they're smart they won't insure them at all. An insurer knows that there's a risk that they'll have to pay out, that's the nature of the business. But if a policyholder is all but announcing that they'll do something that will force them to pay out they would be retards to not terminate the policy. That's why car insurance companies drop drunk drivers.
That's why car insurance companies drop drunk drivers.
I imagine it's the same thing where you can get high risk insurance. They will insure drunk drivers longer than courts will let them generally stay on the road. The damage is limited by amount of the policy.
Umbrella insurance or lawsuit insurance or whatever is covering Oberlin must be a bit more open ended.
Nice to see the good guys win, but you can't change the behavior of a communist by punishing them like you can with normal people. Quarantining them away from normal people and making sure the spores never spread is the only thing that might work.
The US legal system is shit, but it's the only place where sane people have a chance at winning anymore. Look at the Bruen decision and the left going full retard in NY and OR for example.
A good strategy for the future might be to form "legal coordination" societies centered around focus areas like religious discrimination or gun laws. These groups could have coordinated legal campaigns with targeted suits in state and federal courts around the country to create a wall of precedent to shut down the left.
Yes but this implies that the courts are a level playing field where one simply needs to fight with persistence and present the best arguments. You also need to control who actually goes into law school and gets on the courts. We're at an inflection point and there's still time to save the system.
Good news but from the article I get 2 things:
I
Oberlin College is an insane, private, progressive shithole, I've ranted about before. They will never accept that they've ever done anything wrong.
The victims won millions. It's a good day.
Will they see a penny of it though?
Well, they should, shouldn't they?

The college did not say it was paid by insurance. It wasn't. Insurance never covers intentional wrongs like defamation.
The far left can manufacture hoaxes like Jussie Smollett.
We need to manufacture lawsuits like this against ultra wealthy and woke organizations that are incapable of learning…
Coax these diversity hires into calling you racist
Sue for millions.

Hopefully the cost of said insurance skyrockets, and the bean-counters realize (thanks to this ruling) that they have no choice but to pay.
