It sincerely annoys me when I read about the fake hate hoaxes that go on. In fact, I have to laugh a little bit. Then I go right back to being quite annoyed.
It seems this type of thing is becoming more frequent, and not only that, “discrimination” is becoming more frequent. People want their rights and they want them now. And if you infringe upon those rights…watch out, a lawsuit is coming your way.
Michelle Malkin had a post yesterday on the latest fake hate crimes by a homosexual girl out to get attention. It looks like she did too:
“A 17-year-old top female wrestler at a local high school faked a series of gay-bashing incidents that prompted a police investigation, authorities said.
The rash of gay-bashing incidents at Tamalpais High School, dating to November, was the work of a student who claimed she was the victim of hate crimes, said police Capt. James Wickham.
The teen, who was not identified by police, admitted that she was the perpetrator of the incidents, which included defacing her own car, authorities said.
The student has been suspended.
She was not arrested, but police said the case would be referred to the district attorney for review.”
Lashawn Barber also chips in with this info from KCAL 9 News:
The teen, who heads the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, admitted to authorities that she was the perpetrator of the incidents, which included vandalizing her own car with derogatory graffiti, police said. Other incidents involved teachers who received threatening telephone messages.
“It has been determined that all the incidents have been committed by a single individual,” Wickham said.
The student was not identified by police….The girl has been suspended and could face expulsion, said Bob Ferguson, district school superintendent.
“She confessed to everything,” Ferguson said. “She did admit to police that it was basically for attention.”
The student was not arrested, but police said the case would be referred to the Marin County District Attorney’s Office for review. In a series of incidents dating back to November, the student claimed she was the target of hateful language, with anti-gay epithets scrawled on her car and on her school locker. She told police she was pelted with eggs outside her home by an unknown assailant.
Good grief. And this is going to be seen more often. Believe me.
Thankfully, Lashawn Barber has decided to start a new group blog called “Fake Hate.Com.” I’m looking forward to reading it, and perhaps maybe even getting a chance to cover some discrimination against homeschoolers.
Speaking of discrimination of homeschoolers, take a look here at a story of a family who would have been on the front page of the newspaper if only they weren’t white homeschoolers. It’s sick.
Also, Albert Mohler pointed me to this story, also on the topic of discrimination.
Girl wrestlers are now mad that boys from Tacoma Baptist and Cascade Christian schools in Seattle forfeited their matches against them.
Yes, Girls are legally allowed to wrestle on boys teams against boys due to the fact that there is not enough girl wrestlers to have their own league.
So boys from these Christian schools are forfeiting their matches so they don’t have to wrestle these girls. Good for them!
“[But] the easy victories didn’t sit well with the girls, including Meaghan Connors, a seventh-grader at McMurray Middle School on Vashon Island,” said the Seatlle Times, “Her father, Jerry, is prepared to go to court over what he considers a clear case of sex discrimination.”
The Rainier Valley League has always respected the choices to forfeit a match.
“I don’t care if it’s a religious school or not,” said League President Dan Petersen. “If a person chooses not to wrestle, they don’t have to wrestle.”
“At Cascade Christian in Puyallup, Superintendent Don Johnson said the school ‘does not want to put our young men in a situation where they would be inappropriately touching a young lady.’”
It’s not like it’s easy for them to wrestle.
“Meaghan Connors and teammate Sylvie Shiosaki, 13, said they sometimes get taunted at matches, as do the boys who wrestle against them.”
So what is Connors problem? Why doesn’t he just forget about it…it’s already messed up as it is. I mean, I would never go to the mat and wrestle a girl for numerous reasons. Who wants to wrestle a girl anyway?
As Al Mohler said…what’s wrong with the picture of a guy pinning down a girl on a mat?
Connors obviously does not care about any other person’s rights except his and his daughter’s.
“My daughter’s rights,” he said, “are not going to be bargained away for any reason.”
But the League says the issue has already been resolved before:
“Petersen, the Rainier Valley League president, said that as far as he’s concerned, the issue has been long decided.
“It’s something we’ve dealt with and the other schools have been fine with it,” he said.”
The guys have a right to not wrestle, and the girl can deal with that …if she’s tough enough to take it.
“What if, for religious reasons, people said they were not going to wrestle African Americans, or wrestle people of different religions?” asked Nancy Hogshead-Makar, legal adviser for the Women’s Sports Foundation and a gold medalist in swimming at the 1984 Olympics. “When you put it in those terms, you can see how the person who is not able to compete is being harmed.”
I’m afraid this is different. We’re talking about gender, not color.
Al Mohler: “Putting adolescent boys in the position of wrestling adolescent girls undermines and violates the natural and necessary responsibility of men and boys to protect girls and women–not to wrestle them to the ground.”
Took the words right out of my mouth. I hate the thought of girl wrestlers…and then to have them against guys? That really crosses the line.

This is so sad. Girls and guys shouldn’t be allowed to wrestle together. I’m glad those guys are forfeiting their matches against them.

This is seriously just wrong. You realize what’ll happen if the boys are forced to wrestle with these girls? Eventually, there’s going to be a suit of a different sort: harassment.

Amusing quote: “The teen, who was not identified by police…”
Right, completely unidentified apart from “female homosexual wrestler recently suspended from school… ”
heh
She doesn’t need to be prosecuted so much as she needs responsible parents. But absent responsible parents, yeh, throw the book at her.
As to girls and guys wrestling together… whadda you think they’re already doing, in backseats of cars or at home while the parents simply look the other way?
Cancel that. I know it’s different. Slightly.
The real issue about girl/guy wrestling here is simple: pound-for-pound, the girls will get… pounded (in general). And that’s a good thing,,, for feminism. A little dash of reality.

Our society is completely losing all common sense for the sake of so called equality. Wrestling is a sport that can only be truly fair (for both sexes) if your opponent is of the same gender.
This subject never fails to completely irritate me to the core.
I have had wrestling friends in high school,and a guy I considered one of my best friends once had to wrestle a girl at a meet. I remember talking to him before the event and he had mentioned to me that he would be wrestling a girl.
Being a non jock and from a small community in the nineties, I was not aware that females wrestled with boys. Having been to a few meets prior, she was the first girl wrestler I had seen.
My friend told me he was worried about where he would be touching her and pinning more than the actual wrestling.
He didn’t have any problem pinning her during the first round, yet the fact was he was so uneasy about how and where he would be touching her for fear of being looked at as perverted etc…
He just wanted it over and done fast and that’s what happened.
Why do we consider this circumstance to be a fair and equal one?
No way is it ever fair for either boy or girl. A girl could retaliate by grabbing or touching certain areas and that would probably be it for him. How is a guy to concentrate on wrestling under those circumstances? She would certainly have nothing to lose! A guy can’t win under these circumstances even if he does pin his opponet. I would have forefited if I was him.
This is more of an issue of male bashing than anything. It’s ok to bash, humiliate, embrass males in our schools and the rest of society. It’s PC to do so now.
Also no one would ever suspect a female of ever doing dirty deeds because it’s not politically correct to think anything negative about females. We as a society must put up with male bashing, starting out in our elementary schools with female biased education and moving on from there. It’s damned near impossible anymore to even function in this society as a Male.
Of course the girl had nothing to lose just by showing up and getting her name and picture in the newspaper for being so brave and wonderful.
She was not even moderately good yet she is considered a hero for ruining the sport for all the boys who would ever have to wrestle against her. This is NOT sporting in any respect!
As I sat in the bleachers in the gym I overheard what must have been a parent wondering out loud to their neighbor why would that girl want to do that and what were her parents thinking?
