‘Hate Crime’ Hoax in San Diego Used to Punish Entire School

Earlier this year, an apparent scandal hit a community in San Diego, California, after brigading activists and overzealous school officials claimed that a ‘racist’ incident took place at a regional high school basketball championship game. The narrative was as follows: supporters from the winning school, Coronado High School, threw tortillas at the losing team from Orange Glen High School, a predominantly latino school. The incident was apparently captured on video, so activists and reactionary school administrators took that as a convenient excuse not bother to actually investigate what had actually happened.

As a result, toxic identity politics and ‘social justice’ astroturfing was allowed to run rampant. And the collateral damage was devastating.  

Due to their negligence and reckless politicization of the event, activists and mainstream media were able to completely destroy the reputation of Coronado High School, its student body and their families, and school faculty. They went on to pressure the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) to revoke the championship won by Coronado, before eventually forcing the entire school to attend ‘racial re-education’ training.
