One Incident of Hate Speech at Oberlin [Thread Retitled by Moderator]

<p>In response to Kei-o-lei:

A natural reaction,don’t you think?The bottom line is that this event occurred and is symptomatic of the deeper issues that may be underpinning this one incident.There is no smoke without a fire,and like I said earlier it’s not enough to be dismissive and wave it off as an “isolated” incident.Whether or not it’s isolated is irrelevant.What matters is that it happened and it should be addressed.

Really?I would think that this incident is regressive and therefore counter progressive.</p>

It’s as much the administration’s mandate to address the situation as it is the students’.Remember that it is the same administration that publishes admissions materials that pitch inclusivity and progressiveness as the mainstay of an Oberlin education.It is as much their job as the students to make sure that the ethos of the school are preserved.</p>
