Oberlin College fined $11M in bakery racial profiling case
The arrogant asses of higher education at Oberlin College, in Lorain County Ohio, have been slapped down by Lorain County Jury. Long story short, some black students tried to steal (or defraud) a family operated business, and the idiots at the college jumped to their defense, pretty much justifying their criminal activity along "social justice" lines.

Good on that Jury!!!! Shame on that "institute of higher learning". Oh, and it's worth noting that a number of the professors and administrators at the college tried valiantly to denounce this as a really stupid idea, but their testimony was not allowed to be presented to the jury! Maybe that will change in the damages trial.

An Ohio jury on Friday slapped Oberlin College with an $11.2 million damages penalty for siding with three black students who had claimed they were victims of racial profiling after they were caught shoplifting in 2016, a report said.
The liberal arts college must pay the massive compensatory damages award to the family-owned Gibsons Bakery, where the three students had been arrested for attempting to steal or buy alcohol with a false ID.
The arrests were met with massive protests by students and faculty at the school.
During the protests, the Dean of Students, Meredith Raimondo, drew up a flyer, claiming Gibsons had a history of racial profiling, the Chronicle-Telegram reported.
The flyer also urged students to boycott the bakery, the Chronicle-Telegram reported.
The students pleaded guilty to the attempted theft in 2017 and admitted in court they were not racially profiled.
The $11.2 million award could triple in a hearing next week on punitive damages, according to the report.
