Racist hysteria

The right wing has been making a big deal about an alleged attack by hispanics on a white teen. Turns out the white student made the whole thing up.

An eighth-grader lied when she claimed a mob of angry students assaulted her for making a poster that read, “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration,” school administrators in Texas say.

Surveillance cameras at Athens Middle School show the 13-year-old student purposefully making scratch marks on her face and arms in a hallway after a classmate took her poster in a “snatch-and-grab” style, school superintendent Fred Hayes said Wednesday.

It is not surprising all the immigrant bashing has led to false reports, maybe it is a sign of how far our country has come that at least this did not end in a lynching.
