Hat tip to Iago …this chick apparently made it up!!!! Is this racist? It is shameful. If this story is true she should be expelled.

Charges are being filed against 13 year old Melanie Bowers by Athens ISD through the Henderson County District Attorney’s office for filing a false report, said AISD officials today.
Bowers claimed earlier this week that she was beaten and threatened – with killing and rape, no less – by a group of students at Athens ISD last Friday, for creating a protest sign saying, “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration.”
Bowers’ parents have apologized to school administrators for their daughter, and Bowers’ father, Gary Bower Jr., is agreeing with the charges against her. “I have reviewed the recording and agree with the charges that will need to be filed,” he has said today.
Melanie’s mother, Shera Bowers, released a statement which reads, “I see my daughter was not assaulted, and put the marks on her body. No gang violence as witnessed. She filed a false report.”

The school’s response is still shameful but this story gets stranger and stranger.

The school’s response? Move along, nothing to see here. Students were told to make political protest signs for US History. Hers said, “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration.” She was spit on, slammed against the wall, and her life threatened. The school’s response? You can’t call home and tell your parents.
