According to a year-end report, there have been nearly two dozen fake reports of hate crimes on America’s university campuses this year.
The College Fix reports that there were 21 fake hate crimes reported across the country this year.
Here are the first five:
1. Police charge ‘black feminist theory’ PhD with theft for fundraising on false brick attack
Police accused Roda Osman, a University of Texas-Austin graduate student, of theft after she raised $40,000 on the pretense she was the victim of assault. Rather, video shows her taking the first swing during an argument. She disputes the criminal charges.
2. Illinois State University can’t ‘verify the use of a racial slur’ by a fan
After interviewing 47 people and reviewing hours of footage, the public university in Normal said in January it could not “verify the use of a racial slur” by a basketball fan that allegedly occurred during a game in Dec. 2023.
3. Athletic departments at two New York high schools can’t identify any evidence players were subjected to racial slurs
An East Ramapo High School women’s basketball player alleged there were racial taunts, including “monkey” sounds made during a game in early 2024. However, neither high school could confirm the allegations, and a parent present at the game challenged the claims.
4. At least one University of Maryland hate crime suspect appears to be Hispanic, but is listed as ‘white’
Police charged two individuals in February in connection to an alleged hate crime incident at the University of Maryland. But one individual listed as “white” has the last name “Delgado” and is from a town that is 75 percent Hispanic and 20 percent Asian.
5. Missouri noose is not ‘racially motivated’ school district says
A “kid in crisis” left the noose. “After extensive conversations and investigation, we do not believe this to be a racially-motivated incident,” the Francis Howell School school district said. A black parent had jumped to the conclusion that the noose was racially motivated while the local NAACP connected it to conservative school board members pushing for a right-leaning agenda.
