Screenshots from an alleged conversation between Precious Boahen, who accused Severson of racism, and an account called \u201cGoWhiteBear,\u201d show the anonymous account using racial slurs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><i><span>GO WHITE BEAR: Leave my school n****r.

In contrast, Boahen was able to create a black student affinity group with relative ease. Boahen accused Severson of being jealous of her ability to successfully kickstart a club.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boahen shared a separate screenshot of the messages with the caption, \u201cI bet you a billion bucks this is Avery Severson or one of her friends all mad because they can\u2019t have their Turning Point club at school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_210582\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210582\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-210582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Accusing-Avery-1-169x300.png\" alt width=\"600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/04\/Accusing-Avery-1-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/04\/Accusing-Avery-1-324x576.png 324w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/04\/Accusing-Avery-1.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-210582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>via Instagram<span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Severson told The Daily Wire that she was in a driver\u2019s education class on Wednesday, April 7, when the conversations were posted to social media. She denied the accusations and said she would never have made such abhorrent comments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On April 9, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twincities.com\/2021\/04\/09\/white-bear-students-to-walk-out-over-racist-threats-made-over-social-media\/\"><span>local media reported<\/span><\/a><span> on a staged walkout at the school. Students and teachers left school to stand in solidarity against racism in light of the messages.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Severson family met with White Bear Lake High School administrators who encouraged Severson to remain silent about the situation. Classmates, Severson says, took her silence on the matter as an admission of guilt and threatened her. Severson was escorted to and from classes until April 12.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boahen publicly posted an email that she sent to White Bear Lake administrators in which she threatened to tell the media and take legal action against the school.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf swift and sweeping action is not taken, I will be contacting news outlets to let the public know how [the administration] really operates in this city, and I will be looking for legal action as well,\u201d Boahen said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White Bear Lake High School immediately began investigating the situation with the help of the FBI and the local police department. According to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hate-crime-hoax-high-school-students-of-color-were-sent-threatening-messages-the-superintendent-says-it-was-a-hoax\"><span>email<\/span><\/a><span> from the district\u2019s superintendent, the investigation concluded that the Instagram messages were a \u201choax.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe initial investigations by the FBI, our local police department, and the school district uncovered that the social media posts were not what they appeared. The original messages were found to be a hoax sent under false pretense by an Instagram account that was created by a student,\u201d the email reads. \u201cThe individual who created the social media posts poses no threat to our students of color.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Severson told The Daily Wire that she is fearful that this \u201choax\u201d not only ruined her reputation among her peers but may hinder her future political ambitions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis experience has been extremely hurtful, not only because I believe all racism is wrong, but because I was believed to be guilty with no evidence pointing to me,\u201d Severson said. \u201cThis has left me feeling unsafe at school as well as in my community. I feel this has hurt my reputation and could damage my future political goals.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
