Not at all. What Oberlin isn't allowed to do is the same thing it wasn't allowed to do before - help organize a boycott of a legitimate business based on libelous accusations. The students can still do whatever they want to the extent that the institution chooses to not punish them.

- alsaaro 4y agoYou can organize a boycott for any conceivable reason, the reason doesn't have to make logical sense, be politically correct, or moral. Do you believe business are entitled to your money? And if they no longer earn your business they should be able to sue you? This perversity happened during the Civil Rights movement, white business owners sued blacks who caused them financial losses for refusing to patronize their racist establishments.
