Racist Attack on Child Makes National News, Turns Out to Be a Hoax

Gosh, I wonder why this story was considered so newsworthy?

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.

Video montage of how the media covered the story when it broke:

 

Do you suppose that the media will devote as much coverage to the exposure that Amari Allen lied about the whole thing? I think not.

Here is a list of 60 “hate crime” hoaxes since 2001.
