Most of you know about the controversies that have surrounded me, and the press I have gotten. After all, I posted about it. Well, it appears that messy litigation and news coverage runs in the family.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
My sister is a dean at Oberlin who got caught up in a big ficking mess. I feel for her. I signed up for the bullshit, she didn't.

Did your sister really try to stop a photographer/reporter from taking photos at a public protest?
Anyway, I love how these stories get twisted - three black kids beating on a white store owner equals the store owner being racist.

Hawk said Raimondo tried to block him from taking photos and gave him a copy of the flyer
It all kind of depends on whether this is actually true and the context of it. If it is true, then she actively got involved.
That whole situation though sounds like a shit show though from beginning to end.

That was one poorly written article. It may be because I haven’t finished my coffee, but the reporter seemed to be jumping around a lot.
So the college was sued because it’s bylaws state the dean of students is supposed to be present at protests? Was this bakery on campus?
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

I obviously don’t know the whole story, but feel the policy that a university admin must be present at off campus protests to “ensure student safety” is a bad one. For one, these kids are legal adults and ensuring their safety off campus is a job for law enforcement, not a school administrator. Second point being the admins mere presence gives credence to the idea that the school is sanctioning or is otherwise directly involved in the action, regardless of intent, and opens the door to this very type of perception (or misconception, depending on what actually happened).
It’s a very sticky situation.
The school severing ties with the bakery, whether they were strong-armed by the student body or not, didn’t help quash the idea that the university themselves had an active hand in all of this nonsense. Also, I read elsewhere that they were giving students some sort of academic reward for their involvement in the way o f extra credit or something of the like. Not a good look if accurate.
I can’t really discuss the root cause without risk of Oppo descending into madness once again, so I shall show the type of restraint that the university seems to have failed to do and just hope for the best.
Accomplished as she is, perhaps your sis should consider endeavors outside of the higher education butchers block she’s on now. Because if it isn’t this, something else is certain to explode in her face in short order. It’s just the way it is when we as a society are past the point of thoughtful discussion and instead immediately reach for the pitchforks and torches.

Wasn’t there a kerfluffle at Oberlin a while back about the “authenticity ” of the dining hall’s Chinese food? I don’t buy into the moral panic about college campus free speech, but these kids need a reality check.
I hope it works out for your sister. While it does sound like the bakery was unfairly harmed , targeting the school in general and her in particular seems like a big stretch, especially if it’s based on the word of one reporter.
