UPDATE: A black student at a Christian school in Virginia, who accused 3 white 6th grade boys of cutting her dreadlocks and calling her ugly, now says that she was lying about the attack.
On Monday, Stephen Danish, the head of Immanuel Christian School, said in a statement that Amari had"acknowledged that the allegations were false."
"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," Danish's statement said. Hate crime hoaxes are, however, more common in certain settings, including schools, said Russell-Brown, who examined more than 100 major racial hoaxes for her book, “The Color of Crime: Racial Hoaxes, White Fear, Black Protectionism, Police Harassment, and Other Macroaggressions.”
