Here are 50 campus hate-crime hoaxes The College Fix has covered since 2012

Two weeks before the Jussie Smollett case was revealed to be a hoax, The College Fix pretty much called it out as such. How did we know? Because we’ve seen it before. A lot.

For the past seven years, we’ve chronicled dozens of similar examples nationwide on college campuses or perpetrated by students. In sum, more than 50 and counting.

For starters, The College Fix tracked 9 campus hate-crime hoaxes between 2012 and 2014, as well as one that took place in 2011.

Examples included two black students at Montclair State University who reported finding hateful and threatening graffiti aimed at African Americans and women on their dorm room doors. One of the messages read, “Black B— you will die.” Police, however, discovered the students penned the graffiti themselves.

In 2013, there was the hate crime at Oberlin College that fell apart, an alleged “KKK figure” roaming the campus who turned out to be just “a person wrapped in a blanket.” Then it came to light that a series of racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay messages found at Oberlin were the work of two Obama-supporting Leftists.

Then we reported on another 11 hate-crime hoaxes in 2015. That year, examples included a Muslim student who claimed she was stalked and threatened by a guy with a gun. She made the entire thing up.


And the list goes on.

How many of these alleged "hate" crimes included reports of sexual assaults?

So a little less than ten per year; less than one per month. What rate of verifiable collegiate hate crimes was there over the same time period? Without context for comparison, these figures tell us nothing other than that a small number of people will lie for attention - which is hardly earth-shattering news.
