[UPDATE] Black sixth-grade girl who said three white boys at Christian school forcibly cut her ‘nappy’ dreadlocks off now admits it’s NOT TRUE

by The Right Scoop

Last week a black sixth-grade girl at a Christian school in Virginia claimed three white boys pinned her down and cut her hair because they said she was ugly and that her hair was nappy. But it turns out the girl lied and it’s not true:

WASHINGTON POST – The sixth-grade girl at a private Virginia school who accused three classmates last week of forcibly cutting her hair now says the allegations were false, according to statements from the girl’s family and the principal at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield. School officials met with the girl and her family Monday morning before releasing the statement.

The 12-year-old, who is African American, said three white boy students held her down in a school playground a week ago during recess, covered her mouth, called her insulting names and used scissors to cut her hair.

The school’s principal, Stephen Danish, also issued a statement and sent an email to parents and community members.

“We can now confirm that the student who accused three of her classmates of assault has acknowledged that the allegations were false. We’re grateful to the Fairfax County Police Department for their diligent work to investigate these allegations,” Danish wrote. “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.”

Here’s the apology released from the grandparents of the girl:

This is what the girl originally claimed from Wapo’s first article on this:

Fairfax County police are investigating an alleged attack on a sixth-grade girl by three boys Monday at the private Christian school they attend in Springfield, Va.

The 12-year-old girl, who is African American, told police that three white sixth-grade classmates held her down, covered her mouth, called her insulting names and used scissors to cut several of her dreadlocks from her head during recess in the playground at Immanuel Christian School.

“I was about to go down the slide, and the three boys came up and surrounded me,” the girl said in an interview Thursday afternoon. “They were saying my hair was nappy and I was ugly and I shouldn’t have been born.”

Jussie Smollett would be so proud.

There was a ton of hate directed toward the school over these now-false allegations, as you can imagine. Here’s one example:

This is the kind of knee-jerk reaction we’ve come to expect from those in the Twitter mob who refuse to wait for the facts and seek to use everything as a political attack.
