Still reeling from $36M defamation judgment, Oberlin risks new suit from censored coach
Just the News ^ | 9/13/23 | Greg Piper

A year after Oberlin College finally agreed to pay more than $36 million to family-owned Gibson's Bakery under a defamation judgment — dragging out appeals until both father and son had died — the Ohio liberal arts school is facing new allegations of character assassination.

Administrators have tried to silence head women's lacrosse coach Kim Russell about gender ideology's threat to women's sports since she questioned transgender swimmer Lia Thomas's victory in the NCAA women's 500-yard freestyle last year, she claims.

Russell, who says she has coached "multiple" transgender athletes, reposted an Instagram post declaring swimmer Emma Weyant "the real woman who won" the race. (Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a proclamation to that effect as well.)

"What do you believe?" the 56-year-old mother of four asked followers. "I can't be quiet on this" as a veteran coach and athlete who was seriously injured by a man in a coed field hockey game.

Look who is back in the news! Why it is Oberlin College! Apparently the college learned nothing at all after paying at 36 million dollars to the Gibson family.

America needs an educational system.

From elementary all the way to post-graduate.

They were mandated and then ordered to pay up the 36$ million - they did not agree to it at all under any circumstances and fought bitterly NOT to pay the judgement.

Great, and just victory for Gibson's Bakery. Hope to see more like it.

Place all those not claiming their biological gender in a separate group to compete against one another and problem is solved ….

Yes, let’s let all the transgenders compete among themselves. I bet you that the biological males taking estrogen will still beat the biological females taking testosterone most of the time.

They need to stop this lie, the didn’t “FINALLY AGREE” to pay the judgement they were FORCED TO DO SO...

Every single article on this topic LIES straight up..

OBERLIN didn’t AGREE to anything to this day they deny they did anything wrong, and only paid after being FORCED to do so or risk having their assets confiscated and sold to pay the judgement against them..

Yeah, they fought against making payment of the judgment and delayed until after the elderly members of the family had passed away. They had to be forced to comply with the Court’s order. The disgust I feel for the “leaders” of Oberlin cannot be measured on a scale of 1 to 10.

Well, no. The whole point of trans ideology is that transwomen are women, and that transmen are men.

They'll refuse anything other than that. They'll regard your solution as a form of "separate but equal."

How many trans men are linebackers in the NFL? Case closed.

Oberlin has no intention of learning anything. Note that they use the “struggle session”— a device used by Maoist China during the cultural revolution to denounce and punish dissenters. This is a totalitarian enclave which is beyond redemption, not so much a college as a training ground for police state thugs.

Oberlin needs to have its academic accreditation revoked and the shredded accreditation certificate prescribed to be taken by the Oberlin President p.r.

Kill that kollege. Don’t recommend for anyone to go there or any other kollege, public or private, like them, as a start.

But, don’t forget, these kolleges are catering to the perceived notions of their students and donors, so it’s a much deeper problem than just destroying the kollege.

And the coached was dimed out by one of her players. If she stays on, that critter would need to be a permanent pine rider.

So if they bankrupt themselves suppressing freedom of speech can they knock Harvard out of 1st place for the university most hostile to free speech.

Great expression.

It would have been a hoot and a half if those self-righteous lefties had been forced to sell off assets in a sheriff’s sale.

Life one poster said: pay up morons or the sheriff will start padlocking the dormitories.

I knew I’d heard that name somewhere. They obviously think they are IMPORTANT!

Subject to no rules but their own.

Answerable to no one.

Far from the madding crowd.

Part of the “Don’t you know who I am?” elite.
