How woke Oberlin bullies prospered despite driving bakery to brink with racism lies:

• https://www.dailymail.co, By NATASHA ANDERSON

Two senior academics who conspired with Oberlin College in its efforts to destroy a family-run bakery over false racism claims have both gone on to success, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

Then-Latinx Student Life Coordinator Julio Reyes intimidated witnesses during a bakery protest in November 2016 and tried to prevent them from taking photos to document the angry mob of students, courtroom testimony revealed.

Reyes, a Brown University alum, now serves as the ivy league school's Program Director for the Undocumented, First-Generation College, and Low-Income Student Center, earning at least $107,000 annually, per Glassdoor salary reports.

And Ben Jones, who wrote numerous foul-mouthed emails backing the angry mob and accusing the Gibson family of being 'idiots' who were 'totally blind to their own assumptions,' was promoted by Oberlin last year.

He has gone from being head of the college communications office to the school's first-ever Assistant Vice President of Admissions Communications. 

DailyMail.com has contacted both men for a comment on their behavior.    

Witnesses testified that Reyes had a stack of defamatory flyers encouraging students to boycott Gibson's and was distributing them at the protest. 

Oberlin Police Department Sergeant Victor Ortiz, who testified during the trial, claimed that after his interaction with McDaniel, Reyes reported to his superior, former dean of students Meredith Raimondo. Raimondo - who was herself allowed to leave, and now works at Oglethorpe College in Atlanta, was reportedly addressing students with a bullhorn, DailyMail.com reported on Tuesday. 

Ortiz described the chaotic scene, saying: 'There were cars just driving down College Street unloading cases of water and snacks onto, like, little carts for the college students to drink and snack on while they were out there.
