Yesterday Yahoo News<\/a> reported that Oberlin College will be required to pay Gibson’s Bakery $44 million in damages after the College accused the Bakery of racism.<\/p>\n

The article explains the root of the controversy:<\/p>\n

Problems between the Gibsons, their once-beloved bakery and the college began in November 2016 after Allyn Gibson, who is white, confronted a black Oberlin student who had shoplifted wine. Two other black students joined in and assaulted Gibson, police said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The day after the arrests, hundreds of students protested outside the bakery<\/a>.\u00a0 Members of Oberlin College’s student senate published a resolution saying Gibson’s had “a history of racial profiling and discriminatory treatment.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

When news of the protests spread online, bikers and counterprotesters soon converged on the town to jeer students and make purchases from Gibson’s. Conservatives derided the students on social media as coddled “snowflakes” with a mob mentality, while students attacked the store as a symbol of systemic racism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gibsons sued Oberlin and the dean of students in November 2017, accusing faculty members of encouraging the protests. The lawsuit said college tour guides informed prospective students that Gibson’s is racist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gibsons said the protests devastated their business and forced them to lay off workers. They said they haven’t paid themselves or other family members since the protests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

For decades the college would buy baked goods from the small family-owned and operated business, but the bakery says that ended after the students were arrested. The administration reportedly told the bakery that they would restore the business relationship only if they stopped prosecuting first-time shoplifters and notified the school instead. Owner David Gibson declined the offer, citing the difficulty in determining who is a first time offender and the high cost of stolen goods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though the three men were clearly in the wrong, the bakery was subject to Black Lives Matter protests and even pressured by the college\u2019s administration not to pursue charges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, faculty members encouraged the demonstrations by suspending classes, helping to distribute flyers accusing the bakery of racism, and providing food and drinks to protesters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a word of advice for all future social justice warriors–make sure the person you are claiming was treated unfairly is innocent of the charges. Otherwise, you may be the one thwarting justice and paying the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
