At Oberlin College, spring semester is hate crime hoax season. A series of false claims of white-on-black hate crimes led to the chancellor canceling classes for a day of hate against hate. Kind of sounds Orwellian.

Over the past 26 years we have been regaled with one campus hate crime hoax after another, starting with Columbia University (which later also had a noose hoax), all on intolerant, left wing-dominated campuses.

I am unfamiliar with a single hate crime that proved to be real. Some are exposed as hoaxes engineered by members of "victim" groups (the Duke rape hoax, the UCSD "noose" hoax, etc.), in which case the media sweep the story under the rug, while most remain unsolved and are simply "disappeared."

And each time a new hoax is engineered, all right-thinking people suffer from amnesia about all the previous hoaxes.

Meanwhile, the real, ongoing, institutionalized campus hatred against whites, and particularly white, heterosexual men, is ignored.
