A teacher in Philadelphia spent YEARS lying about her race and heritage to be a far-left activist. Hannah Gann is now apologizing. She admitted to having no Palestinian or African roots. She's just a "white woman of significant privilege and wealth." In fact, she is actually JEWISH and spent years raving against her own community. Now she's being called out by other activists who are saying her lies caused "emotional harm."
"I hid the truth or outright lied about my background to everyone in my life. There is not a single person on this planet, no friend, no fellow organizer, no one in my family, no professional connection, no secret op or handler who knew what I was doing. I hid my family's background from everyone in Philly and also hid from the people in my own family what I was doing."
Maybe the lesson here is building movements on lies and performative identity politics always falls apart. Common sense, right?
