Some students, three I think, went into the bakery and stole a few items. They admitted it, but their college friends decided that the bakery was racist for having them charged and the college agreed. The Oberlin administration then branded the bakery ‘racist’.
It's really more of a licensed bakery/convenience store, and one of the three black students tried to shoplift a bottle of wine, with a Gibson family member suffering some minor bruising, while trying to stop the thief and his friends.
It was about the eve of the election, and the election results apparently had the "college" lashing out, and the school picked the wrong lashee, using "racism" as an excuse, while defending its "own" thief and accomplices.
