OBERLIN IN THE NEWS--JUSTICE SERVED---OBERLIN TO (FINALLY) PAY BAKERY $36MILLION IN DEFAMATION SUIT OVER RACIAL PROFILING

For those of us following this sad story----and what happens when the mob comes for you.....

Oberlin College has agreed to pay over $36 million to the family-owned bakery the Ohio school falsely accused of being racist in a shoplifting incident.

Gibson’s Bakery filed suit against the progressive college in 2017 for siding with three black students who claimed the store racially profiled them when they were caught stealing from the shop the year before.

The hefty payout comes after the Ohio Supreme Court last month denied Oberlin’s bid to hear its appeal of the 2019 jury verdict, which found that the college defamed the bakery when a staffer made flyers claiming that Gibson’s had a history of racial profiling.

The college announced the award in a statement Thursday, saying that the Board of Trustees decided not to push the matter further.  MORE AT Oberlin to pay Gibson's Bakery $36M in defamation suit (nypost.com)
