  • On 19 May 2016, the web site The Free Patriot published an article reporting that Sunny Oaks Elementary School in California was forcing young children to cross dress in honor of LGBT week: Although it was twice mentioned that the purported controversy was making headlines, we were unable to locate a single news item from May 2016 (or any other time) about mandatory cross-dressing at any U.S. school. Neither did we find a record of any Sunny Oaks Elementary School existing anywhere in the state of California. Needless to say, Fox News didn't speak to any parents of students at the non-existent school, and all references to the supposed controversy linked back to the above-referenced item. A reverse image search for the appended photograph of Sunny Oaks Elementary led primarily to pages about other fake news items that were utilizing the same image. (For example, in 2013, the photograph was attached to a fake news claim about a student purportedly suspended for saying Merry Christmas to a teacher.) The Free Patriot is much like the unreliable web site American News, publishing a variety of outrage-inducing claims of questionable veracity. (en)
