Oberlin College(Ohio)cancels classes due to malicious happenings on campus

OBERLIN — Classes for Oberlin College and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music have been canceled today so students and faculty members can discuss homophobic and racial statements that have been plaguing the campus.

College spokesman Scott Wargo said that statements were written on posters all over campus. According to a letter on the college’s website, there was a report Monday morning of a person wearing a hood and robe resembling a Klu Klux Klan outfit near Edmonia Lewis Center and the Afrikan Heritage Center.

“This report is being investigated by both Safety and Security and the Oberlin Police Department,” college president Marvin Krislov and other faculty wrote in the letter. “This event, in addition to the series of other hate-related incidents on campus, has precipitated our decision to suspend formal classes and all non-essential activities for today, Monday, March 4, 2013, and gather for a series of discussions of the challenging issues that have faced our community in recent weeks.”

There will be a teach-in led by the Africana Studies Department at noon in the Lord Lounge at the Afrikan Heritage House. At 2 p.m. a demonstration of solidarity will be held at the Wilder Bowl. The day will finish off with a community convocation at 3:30 p.m. at the Finney Chapel. The concovation was previously scheduled for Wednesday.

That sounds odd. "Africana" means "African woman" in Italian, but as far as I know, the word "Afrikan," if it isn't a misspelling, doesn't exist in any language.

And for every attack motivated by racial animus or “homophobia”, there are at least 100 fabricated reports.

For every attack by whites on blacks motivated by racial animus there are dozens, if not hundreds, by blacks on whites. They just aren’t reported. I would also bet that homos kill far, far more homos than straights do. The cops in homo ghettos call it “homocide”.

Yeah, gotta make sure those whiney white trust-fund parasites get fully indoctrinated in "Afrikan culture" so they can learn to hate all the right people...

“Marvin L. “Doc” Cheatham, president of the NAACP’s Baltimore chapter...”

A partner in the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe, no doubt.

My cousin went to this cesspool of homosexuals.

While a fine school of music, he stated that not a single day went by without one of these SSAD (Same Sex Attraction Disorder) creeps trying to hit on him.

Because they cannot reproduce they must recruit.

That Columbia professor was fired for multiple counts of plagarism. NB that the noose showed up on her door AFTER the University started the case against her. Imagine that.

Sounds like China during the ‘Cultural Revolution’, when they canceled classes to have self-criticism sessions.

Oberlin may well be the most left winged school in Ohio
