You know what happens whenever one of these hate crimes happens, right? I saw this a couple weeks back on Yahoo News, and most of the comments (comments tend to trend very right on stories there) were wondering if it was a hoax, betting on it being a hoax. It’s a hoax

Sixth-Grade Girl Admits To Fabricating Hate Attack That Media Linked To Mike Pence’s Wife, School Says

An alleged anti-black hate incident at a Washington, D.C.-area middle school that media outlets tried to link to Vice President Mike Pence’s wife was a hoax, the school said Monday.

Amari Allen, 12, accused three white classmates earlier in September of pinning her down and cutting off her dreadlocks during an attack at Immanuel Christian School, a private school in Springfield, Virginia.

“They said my hair was nappy and I was ugly,” Allen, a sixth-grader, told NBC Washington in an emotional interview.

The story received national attention not just because of the attack, but also because the school has a high-profile faculty member: Karen Pence.

The second lady teaches art at the school two days a week.

NBC News and other outlets highlighted Pence’s job at Immanuel, which has come under the spotlight because the school adheres to traditional Christian teachings and reserves the right to expel gay and transgender students.

The media even tried to reach out to the offices of Karen and Mike Pence over this. And then what happened?

But the school said Allen admitted to fabricating the attack, according to The Washington Post, citing a statement from her family.

“We can now confirm that the student who accused three of her classmates of assault has acknowledged that the allegations were false. We’re grateful to the Fairfax County Police Department for their diligent work to investigate these allegations,” Stephen Danis, the principal at Immanuel, said in a note to parents, according to WaPo.

“While we are relieved to hear the truth and bring the events of the past few days to a close, we also feel tremendous pain for the victims and the hurt on both sides of this conflict. We recognize that we now enter what will be a long season of healing.”

Pain on both sides? What pain is the accuser in? She lied about being attacked, caused problems for the three boys. Her grandparents even apologized on her behalf. Perhaps it’s time to teach her that attempting to create a Narrative about being a victim, especially in a racial manner, is no way to go through life. Be strong, don’t be a Victim.
