Lying About A “Racist” School Attack In Virginia
Last Friday a major news story circulated about how a twelve-year-old girl was viciously bullied and attacked at her school. And it was all because of her race.
Remember that one?

According to the news article and accompanying video, Amari Allen was assaulted by three white students while outside on the school’s playground. One of the boys held her down, another covered her mouth so she couldn’t scream or cry for help, and the third one used scissors to cut off parts of Amari’s dreadlocks. While doing so, the three white students allegedly called her names and told her things like she was ugly or that she shouldn’t even be there. Amari even cried on camera during the interview with the news reporter.
Allegedly Amari was so ashamed that she couldn’t tell her grandmother (her legal guardian) about the attack. It wasn’t until several days later that her grandmother noticed Amari’s hair, and that’s when she learned what happened. The school and police were notified, and an investigation took place. Naturally, news of the attack sparked outrage as it seemed so senseless and cruel.
In the video on the website, Amari’s mother, Lakeisha Allen, even says that those boys “. . . need to be locked up in juvenile.” She also said that, “[t]heir parents need to be in trouble for this as well.” After all, Lakeisha went on to say that, “. . . it’s a racism thing,” and that’s a “learned behavior.”
I’m sure you know exactly where we’re going with this one. The article’s title *might* have given it away.
So today, Monday, September 30th, it was announced that . . . THE GIRL LIED ABOUT THE HATE CRIME ATTACK. Read more…

Angels, Devils, and the Outrage Against a Substitute Teacher
Yesterday afternoon I heard about a news story concerning a substitute teacher at Awtrey Middle School in Kennesaw, Georgia.
According to the news, a substitute teacher had made a listing of her students, and she went as far as classifying them as “angels,” “devils,” or “mixed.” The students were outraged, at least one of them took a picture of the list, and then it reached the parents and the news stations. The substitute teacher was fired. Meanwhile, some of the parents were concerned about this being a racist incident as the “devils” were black students.

That’s how it was being initially reported. CBS News basically called it flat-out racism.

Overseas in England, the Daily Mail website also heavily implied that this was a racist issue.
Of course, that’s not what really happened with the listing. It turns out that the “angels” and “devils” both had white and black students. Once that was admitted, the news stations had to change the narrative and make it about a “cruel” substitute teacher who was “mean” for labeling her students based on their behavior.
Fast forward to today.
The story about the substitute teacher was featured on many of the local news stations this morning. Parents are mad, students are sad, and the school was quick to distance itself from this particular person. The “victims” are trying to recover and move on after actually being labeled as naughty, not that it affected their grade in any way.
Let’s take a closer look and see what really happened in that middle school classroom.
For starters, this was done by a substitute teacher, and not a full-time teacher. The class’s full-time teacher is out on maternity leave and is scheduled to return in a few weeks. That means that this particular sub was a long-term sub. Read more…
