<p>Macmill #14 ^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>No, one person maintained it was a joke and minimized it, not a “majority of posters”</p>
<p>three things:</p>
<p>1) macmilll, you are doing what the OP did: take a specific event and make it into a general comment on the place </p>
<p>2) two things are both true: a despcable act of intolerance occurred; Oberlin is a progressive place; one does not negate the other </p>
<p>3) as a parent of a kid at Oberlin I care much less what the adminstration does than what the students do about this; the important issue and dialogue at the school is not between the bureaurcats and the stduents; it is among the students themselves</p>
<p>the culture - and the reaction to the event - belongs to the students </p>
<p>P.S and slurs like that ain’t a “private matter”</p>
