Oberlin, Banh Mi, and the internet Outrage Machine

I haven’t done more than read this story. However, if it’s correct, even the New York Times got sucked in.

Oberlin seems to be on the wrong side of a lot of things these days.

Or maybe Oberlin is doing just fine but it’s so much fun for various pundits to rag on that they can’t resist.
