Oberlin College Eats Just Desserts for Smearing Bakery

Published: May 5, 2022, 7 a.m.

Back in 2016, clerks at Gibson\u2019s Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio, stopped a group of black shoplifters from stealing from their store. What they didn\u2019t realize was that act would set them on a six year legal battle.\nThe tiny, family owned bakery was accused of racial profiling for stopping the shoplifters. That accusation caused students and faculty from nearby Oberlin College to engage in a smear campaign to get them shut down.\nA libel case filed by the owners of the bakery recently concluded, with the bakery owners emerging victorious. This hasn\u2019t stopped the school from continuing to accuse the shop of being racist.\n\u201cThey have been completely unapologetic. They have been very aggressive towards this bakery,\u201d says Bill Jacobson, a Cornell Law professor and founder of Legal Insurrection. \u201cThey continue to make their false accusations of racism against the bakery, they show no remorse whatsoever.\u201d\nJacobson and Legal Insurrection have been covering this case since the very beginning. He joins the show to give a background on the case, as well as discuss what the verdict means for other woke schools targeting small businesses.\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nPresident Biden says the most \u201cextreme political organization that\u2019s existed in recent American history\u201d is the \u201cMAGA crowd.\u201d\n\nSen.
