Fake Hate Crime at GWU

What a shocker. A bogus hate crime on a college campus.

Details at Fishwrap.
Self-inflicted fake hate crimes are an increasingly common phenomena, especially on college campuses. Why? Perhaps because students are told that "hate" is ubiquitous, and that being a victim of oppression is akin to sainthood.

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.
Is the possibility of the Columbia incident being bogus why we haven't heard a peep about it lately?

More from Bryan at Hot Air.
