Radical fallout -- Oberlin enrollment drops, causing financial problems. While the ivory towers haven't figured it out, maybe the parents have?

From OP link:


At both the University of Missouri and Evergreen State College, an atmosphere of aggressive “Social Justice” activism damaged enrollment and contributed to financial difficulties.

Apparently, even liberal students don’t want to attend institutions where student and faculty social justice warriors have turned the campus into a battleground.

The same thing may be happening at Oberlin College in Ohio.

...


The social solution to social justice. :D

Or change.

But the change would need to go deeper thant the way students are treated when they try to shut down free speech. It would have to go back to perhaps as far back to the 60s when colleges started teaching students to act like this.

It's arguably the best school in our state.

Exactly, we can vote in elections or we can vote with our pocket books...or we can vote with our feet and walk away.

For?


Founded in 1833 by a Presbyterian minister and a missionary, it holds a distinguished place among American colleges and universities. It was the first college to grant bachelor's degrees to women in a coeducational environment and, historically, was a leader in the education of African Americans. The Oberlin community is known for its exemplary academic and musical pedagogy and its commitment to social justice, sustainability, and creative entrepreneurship.

Good, let it collapse.

"Progress" is dying and rightfully so.

Being replaced by group identity politics.

Now if we could only translate this into a multi party representation.

Well, the alt-right is about identity politics as well.
