Athens School 'Attack' Proven To Be False, Girl To Be Charged

Our earlier report of a Texas girl being attacked for her anti-illegal immigration poster was based on a lie.

As another writer has observed, "It's the "American Idol" syndrome: Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame, and faking a hate crime against yourself is a quick shortcut to the limelight."

One big difference between this young lady's case and, oh, Tawana Brawley's or Crystal Mangum's is the lack of hysterical outrage from her supporters.
