A sixth-grade girl admitted to fabricating a hate crime attack that garnered national media coverage.
Mainstream outlets even tried to link the attack to Vice President Mike Pence’s wife.
Per the Daily Caller:
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 (RELATED: Sweet Irony – U.S. Lib Assaults Trump Supporter In Europe, Gets Charged With Hate Crime).
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.
The girl’s family has apologized to the school and the broader community.
