[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand the tort here.

Did Oberlin administrators officially declare that the bakery is "racist"? Oberlin has zero control over what its adult students decide to protest (or not protest).

Oberlin cancelled its contract with the bakery. But that in itself does not constitute slander.

Someone please explain to me how Oberlin THE INSTITUTION is culpable?[/quote]

Wasn’t an Oberlin administrator organizing and leading some of the protests?   It wasn’t just students, as I recall. [/quote]

Yes. The Dean of Students. [/quote]

I think she was present to keep order, not as an organizer. If you say the college “organized” the student protest because of her presence, what’s to prevent imputing all student protests to their colleges or universities based on the flimsiest nexus?  Most college protests take place on the college campus; students could have their college names on protest signs (“Yale Students for Equality”). Now are colleges responsible? [/quote]

Nope she was an instigator. There are plenty of articles that talk about the school’s involvement. [/quote]

If you watch FOX, stay for their commercial breaks to see their demographics. Viagra, retirement funds, Metamucil, adult diapers, nursing care, final plans...  you get the picture.l. We would never allow your group to create iTune playlist, so why would anyone allow oldies like you to decide their politics? [/quote]
