Social justice activist groups shut down after leader admits her years-long race hoax

A pro-Palestinian woman admitting to orchestrating a race hoax for years has led to one activist group dissolving and another going on hiatus in contemplation of dissolving.

Hannah Gann told people at different times that she was black, Palestinian, and Tunisian, but she later admitted that she was a Jewish white woman.

‘She has moments when she tries to act extra black, like cosplaying black.’

“I hid the truth or outright lied about my background to everyone in my life,” said Gann when confessing her hoax.

A group that included teachers in the Philadelphia district and advocated for the Palestinian cause said they were shutting down in the wake of the controversy over Gann.

“After much reflection, Philly Educators for Palestine has made the decision to dissolve,” the group said
