I have to agree with this comment, although some might interpret it differently. It depends on how much the listener knows about Oberlin. Would anyone think less of Harvard or Stanford, had Stewart said she went there? I don’t think so. It’s more the fact that Oberlin is less well known that might cause some to think more negatively of the college because Stewart revealed to his huge public that Malkin is an alum.</p>
<p>In any event, my perspective comes from knowing a lot about Malkin. I’ve been aware of her hate-filled rantings for years. It may pain some to know that she is the author of no less than three best-selling books, which makes her a little more prominent than a mere blogger. You would think most colleges would want to brag about any alum that is a best-selling author. But how can Oberlin boast of her? The next step would be the return of the prodigal daughter for “the big speech” and a book signing in Finney Chapel. The risk is she’d lambaste the entire faculty and student body as a bunch of commie liberals, destroying the country.</p>
<p>Some quick bio info on Malkin, no judgment, just description: Ironically, she met her husband at Oberlin. He’s not in the public eye but he is conservative. He’s Jewish -hence the surname “Malkin”- she’s Asian, Fillipina to be exact. </p>
<p>The link below will tell you a lot about her background. Apparently, she came to Oberlin as a conservatory student, a pianist, soon realized that she couldn’t cut it, and switched to the college, whereupon she became radicalized RIGHTWARD. Oberlin is mentioned a few times:</p>
