This thing stunk like Jane Fonda's skivvies from the get-go.
This isn't the early 1960s, EVERYBODY has cell phone/cameras now. If there had been somebody dressed in Klan garb any where near Oberlin, there would have been cell phone pictures of it all over the internet, but of course, there were not. Not one.
The left wing is quite willing to use some pretty extreme measures to keep the mindless red-diaper babies in the student body afraid of anything not liberal.
Oberlin students are not intellectually capable of questioning left-wing dogma. I'm sure this hoax had them all huddling in their dorms in fear of being ridden down by night riders.
Good points...In my view the thing that stinks the most is the administration keeping quiet when they knew it to be a hoax.
This reminds me of the female professor at Claremont College in So CA some years back that vandalized her own car after giving a hate crime lecture.
Someone witnessed it and she was fired and prosecuted for filing a false police report, at least that liberal college didn’t go along with the fraud.
