   Victory in lawsuit against Oberlin shows

   Toxic woke extremism now carries a stiff price tag: Oberlin College has   
   agreed to pay Gibson’s Bakery $36.59 million for the school’s official   
   drive to paint the bakery as racist after a black student was caught   
   shoplifting there in 2016.   
      
   Oberlin staff handed out flyers falsely alleging the bakery had a long   
   history of racial profiling. The Gibsons sued, and jurors set the huge   
   award in 2019, with payment delayed by the school’s appeals.   
      
   (By the way, the school’s president pretends that insurance will pay the   
   bill, but few policies cover intentional wrongdoing like Oberlin’s.)   
      
   Good for the Gibson family for sticking to its guns despite the hell   
   Oberlin inflicted on it. And good for the judges and jury for getting this   
   one right: The three students at the heart of the fracas admitted the   
   bakery had not profiled them. And there’s nothing racist about a small   
   business wanting to deter theft.   
      
   Bigger picture: Despite the mad rush by megacorps like Disney and elite   
   educational institutions to cash in on the Great Awokening, reality   
   appears to be re-asserting itself. Americans, by and large, don’t like   
   divisive, disingenuous politics driven by elite preening and resentment.   
      
   Consider Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stripping away of the special legal status   
   Disney long enjoyed over its efforts (urged on by woke employees) against   
   his bill on gender ideology in schools. Disney doubtless now wishes it had   
   avoided the whole controversy.   
      
   So the elite should pay heed to the Oberlin verdict. Shenanigans like the   
   firing of Princeton’s Joshua Katz after he criticized a faculty letter   
   demanding special privileges for nonwhite professors may play well with   
   the Twitter base, but they meet a brick wall in the common sense of   
   everyday Americans.   
      
   As the Gibsons’ attorney noted after the jury spoke, the message here “is   
   to have the intestinal fortitude to be the adult in the room” when   
   crybully students or employees are demanding that heads roll.   
      
   Otherwise, more financial punishments lie ahead.
