[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oberlin has produced an enormous number of successful creative people over the course of decades. It has an enviable history. I went to an Ivy, and I would happily pay to send my kid to Oberlin if that’s where he wanted to go.[/quote]
Oh, sure, because nothing says 'top-tier education' like a school where ideological purity is stronger than academic rigor, and where the most famous thing about it lately is losing a lawsuit over a bakery. I mean, who wouldn't want their kid to attend a place where the 'enormous number of successful creative people' include, what, a few activist poets and YouTube vloggers? Nothing screams 'prestige' quite like the Oberlin brand these days—just ask anyone who knows what happened after the Gibson’s Bakery debacle. If your kid’s dream is to leave with a degree in 'social justice warrior' and a permanent spot in the school’s Most Controversial Moments anthology, sure, Oberlin’s perfect![/quote]

You sound like you’d like to tell SOMEone about the bakery. Go ahead. Get it off your chest.
