<p>I agree with ElizabethHouston. Having been at Oberlin for 38 years, I can remember exactly one similar incident, about 20 years ago. (A racist statement was painted on a campus monument. After a great deal of uproar, it emerged that the graffiti had been done by a Chinese American student as a political statement.) </p>
<p>Although it is not a perfect place, Oberlin is one of the most tolerant and progressive campuses in the country. Prospective students should not be frightened into thinking otherwise.</p>
