The assertion that this was "student speech," and that the lawsuit was over "student speech," is utterly and intentionally dishonest.
As I recall, Gibson's asked for an apology. The college responded to this request by organizing a much bigger series of protests, led by Oberlin faculty members, including the (then) president of Oberlin.
A level of dishonesty that would under traditional circumstances be characterized as "depraved," but today is simply the status quo for left-wing activism, which seems to have become the purpose of most public institutions.
Exactly. The pinnacle of hypocrisy (standard leftard behavior in other words).
