UPDATE: Government school tells attacked girl she can’t call her parents

UPDATE:  Thanks to the alert commenter MG for pointing to this story.  Apparently, the whole thing was made up by the girl, and now she faces trouble for concocting the story.  So, heh heh, disregard the rant below!

Here is a bona fide cornucopia of topics, all in one story.  From Texas:

Melanie Bowers, 13, and her parents walked into Athens High School Monday afternoon to talk to campus police. They were hoping to get some answers.

“It never should have happened in the first place. The whole assignment was a silly assignment and they should have contacted us immediately after it happened,” said J.R. Bowers, Melanie’s father.

It was an assignment for history class–to make a protest sign for or against an issue, and Melanie said she chose illegal immigration. Her sign read, “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration.” Somehow, Melanie said the sign got passed around lunch and angered a group of Latino students.

“I didn’t know any of these people,” she said. One young [student], she claimed, jumped on her back and he put her in a choke hold. “We have brick walls in the middle school and he slammed my face on the bricks.”

Melanie said a group of boys also threatened to rape and kill her. Eventually, the boys let her go and when she went for help, she was ordered back to class, and told she could not call her parents, she said.

“They handled this wrong, you know, they put a child back in danger,” said J.R. Bowers. “It was a very racially motivated crime.”

Observations:

1.  Why in the world did the government school not allow a girl who had just been attacked, not to mention threatened with rape and murder, to call her parents?

2.  I thought criminal aliens were supposed to be “peaceful” and “just looking for a better way of life”?  Or does “better way of life” mean “attacking gringo girls”?  Real tough hombrés, si?

3.  Does this qualify as a so-called “hate crime”, or is the victim (for those of you on the left, the victim here is the girl) a little too Caucasian for this to be a “hate crime”?

4.  These dumb#sses wound up proving her point, didn’t they?
