MN teen falsely accused of sending classmate racist messages: 'I felt unsafe in my community'

Minnesota high school student Avery Severson said on Friday that she was unsure what her future would hold after being falsely accused of sending racist messages to a Black classmate.

"I was just shocked when I saw that they were accusing me and I felt unsafe. I felt unsafe at school," Severson, a sophomore at White Bear Lake High School near St. Paul, told "Fox & Friends."

Severson was accused by a Black classmate of sending racist direct messages on Instagram.

"Screenshots from an alleged conversation between Precious Boahen, who accused Severson of racism, and an account called "GoWhiteBear," show the anonymous account using racial slurs. It’s unclear who was ultimately behind the anonymous account," according to the Daily Wire.

The so-called racist messages were discovered to be a "hoax" after White Bear Lake High School, the FBI, and the local police department investigated the situation. The district’s superintendent sent an email concluding that the Instagram messages were indeed a "hoax."

Is it my imagination or do blacks who instigate racists allegations that turn out to be a hoax aren’t punished? Just asking

I can’t tell if you are joking, or serious.

“The FBI is now investigating high school bullying allegations. Really?”

Probably some federal law about using a communications device to transmit threats.

Doesn’t this girl have any recourse in the matter? Her reputation was attacked. Her life was put in danger to the point she was escorted to classes.

The gutless administrator has since apologized for using the word "hoax" here:

In another message to families on Wednesday, Kazmierczak apologized for using the word "hoax," saying in no way did he intend to "minimize the impact that racism or racist acts has on students and families who have been marginalized throughout history and in White Bear Lake Area Schools."

Word matter!

It was probably either a male who she turned down for sex or a female that she had sex with her boyfriend. In either case, before long, the Police will find her dead body in the woods or by the roadside in a ditch.

blacks are elevated to the highest throne in our society... above the law, above criticism, given extreme deferential treatment, etc.

I supposed they can claim jurisdiction if a message travels electronically among servers across state lines. Did they had such power when threats were made by rotary telephones?

Depending upon who accused her of what and to whom, I can see the falsely accused having a case against the school district and possibly the perp, if the family can get an ID.p

I’m betting the victim’s family gets offered a payout by the district to shut up and go away.

My other “favorite” part of this article:

The rumors of the threatening messages even prompted a walkout by students in protest, supported by some of the school's teachers, local media reported.

“Academics” are often the most reactionary, ideological and stupid people you will ever meet. You can always count on a large subset of leftist “teachers” to have judgement no better than the children they have in their classrooms

Very good point.

“Stalking another person by using the telephone, Internet, or U.S. mail is a felony crime under the criminal law of the United States.”

Blm/antifa burning, looting, rioting. DOJ completely oblivious. But they jump right on a white student falsely accused of racism. Fake white racists are the biggest threat to the country.

Question: If there is “white trash” can there be “trash of other colors”? What about “trailer park trash or hood trash”? /s

I noticed that too. Shouldn’t the accuser be required to issue a public apology, for the good of her character? Oh,wait.

Why does the black community insist on shooting itself in the foot?
