A New York woman has been arrested and charged with making false written punishable statements after fabricating a story alleging that she was the victim of a Trump-related hate crime.

“On Friday, Adwoa Lewis, 19, gave detectives a written statement stating she was driving home on Sept. 2 when four teenagers confronted her,” according to WCBV.

Lewis, a Long Island resident, claimed that the teens yelled “Trump 2016” and told her that she “didn’t belong there.” Further, she told police that she parked outside her home, and woke up with a slashed tire along with a note that said “go home” on her vehicle the next morning.

The story was apparently not as solid as Lewis would have preferred.

“An investigation into the alleged incident revealed Lewis had fabricated the story and no such altercation took place,” according to the report. “Police said Lewis later admitted she wrote the note and placed it on her car.”

Fake hate crimes are on the rise in America during a time when the political climate is already highly polarized. At least 10 such crimes were debunked on college campuses alone in 2017.

A student at the University of Michigan was fined $660 and is on a suspended 93-day jail sentence, pending probation adherence, for falsely reporting a hate crime last year. She told police that she was targeted for wearing a “solidarity pin” – the safety pin worn by leftists after Trump’s election – when in reality she scratched herself with the pin after becoming upset during a women’s literature class.

In April, 2017, an Indian-owned convenience store in Charlotte, NC was vandalized and set ablaze. A note reading “We need to get rid of Muslims, Indians and all immigrants.” It was signed, “White America,” was left behind.

Curtis Flournoy, a 32-year-old black man was arrested and charged for the crime. Surveillance video showed him lighting the fire, according to a report.

The spike in fake hate crimes has been so severe that a website, fakehatecrimes.org, now documents such incidents.

Democrats in the state of Washington are now seeking to institute a statewide LGBT-focused sex ed program that would be taught to students ranging from kindergarten to high school.

House Bill 2184 would institute “comprehensive sexual health education” in Washington’s public schools by the year 2022.

A parental watchdog group in the state is raising the alarm, calling out the progressive legislation for its marketing of adult sexuality to children.

Another post from the Informed Parents of Washington revealed some of the sexually explicit content the sex ed program has lined up for sixth graders.

The 3 Rs begins to sexualize children very early with role playing and group exercises regarding sexual relationships. …

A program of sex ed that is taught to kindergarteners may be unprecedented in national American public education, especially considering it’s slated to include morally controversial topics such as homosexuality.

A survey by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction revealed that Washington parents are overwhelmingly opposed to the notion of teaching sex ed to kids as young as kindergarteners. More than 10,000 responses have been recorded, and over 58% of Washingtonians are opposed to the notion of youth sex ed.

But the state’s Democratic government is fine with simply ignoring the will of parents with children in public schools, plowing ahead with the sex ed program regardless of public sentiment.

A Republican legislator, Michelle Cardier, described the program’s content as “completely inappropriate” in a radio interview. “I think that if it is inappropriate for me to say [at the state house], I don’t think that’s something that I would want to teach a kindergartner.”

97 people have signed up to testify at the Washington House of Representatives in regards to the controversial sex ed, proposal, but only 16 are being allowed to because of time restraints.
