Oberlin College in Ohio has devolved into one of academe’s most infamous examples of political correctness, one of those unwelcoming places that rails against anyone who brings speakers to campus if those speakers upset Oberlin’s crusades against the racist/sexist/anti-gay menace.

Now Oberlin’s administration is being punished in a very significant way for a very significant offense, and it’s about time. It has taken political correctness to an abusive extreme. The Wall Street Journal opinion section headline summed it up: “Oberlin Pays for Smearing the Town Grocer.” It has been ordered to pay $44 million in damages to Gibson’s Food Market and Bakery. How so?
