Philadelphia Teacher Admits Years of Identity Fraud, Citing False Palestinian and Black Heritage
Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia high school teacher, admitted to fabricating her identity as a Palestinian and Black woman to advance her activism. After years of leading pro-Palestinian and racial justice groups, she confessed to being a white woman of Jewish heritage with family in Israel.
