Black Lives Matter uses debunked hate crime narrative to push ‘BLM At School National Week of Action’

When 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes was gunned down in a drive-by in Texas last month, the community mobilized “an army†to find the “white man in a red pickup truck†the girl’s sisters described as the shooter.
Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King posted a $100,000 reward and police put out a sketch of the suspect, described as a white male in his 30s or 40s driving a red truck. The community held a “Justice for Jazmine†rally where activists pushed the narrative the crime was racially motivated, which drew national attention and more than $80,000 in GoFundMe donations for the family.
ReThinking Schools, a network of racially focused teacher-activists, pointed to the manhunt to promote its “Black Lives Matter At School National Week of Action.â€
