@ILLIGON

It was taken from an episode of South Park. Therefore I really think it was just a joke and was not meant to be derogatory.

I don’t see how a derogatory comment can become any less offensive just because it was quoted from South Park or whatever source.It’s still offensive.

I don’t find it useful to make a private matter of the college public for the sheer purpose of attempting to degrade its public reputation.

I shall have to strongly disagree.It’s important for prospective students to have unbiased information to help them make informed choices.If this kind of thing is prevalent at Oberlin then it is incredibly important for prospective students to be fully aware of it and judge for themselves whether they would like to spend 4 years in an environment like that.</p>
