BY AVERY ANAPOL - 01/08/18 09:17 AM EST
A teacher at Marylands Academy of the Holy Cross has been fired after students discovered evidence he is a member of a white supremacist group.
Greg Conte, a substitute teacher and field hockey and track coach at the all-girls Catholic school, was reportedly fired in October, but the school sent a letter alerting families of the firing just last week.
Conte appears to use the name Gregory Ritter on Twitter, where he has posted a number of controversial tweets that could be considered racist and antisemitic, including one that said Hitler did not commit any crimes, according to D.C.s Fox5.
Prior to his firing, he was successfully using an alternate identity in his work with his atrocious group, school president and CEO Kathleen Prebble wrote in the letter. As for his potential impact on our girls, I conducted an investigation at the time of his firing and determined there was no reason to think that he negatively influenced any of our girls with his philosophy.

(15,368 posts)Are you equating "lefties" with Nazis?
One may want "Medicare for all". The other exterminated over 6 Million people based on race and took the entire world to the brink of destruction.
One may protest "police brutality". The other built Concentration Camps, raped women and children, starved people to death and seized all of there assets and businesses.
There is only one acceptable response to Nazis...BEAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK OUT OF THEM, and STOMP THEM THE FUCK OUT LIKE THE COCKROACHES that they are
So, yes, if "lefties" began advocating Race-Wars, I would say, fire and shun them from society as well.
Nazis should have absolutely NO SAFE SPACE. They should have no Employment opportunities. They should have the knowledge that showing their face in public will result in getting it broken
That's how I feel about Nazis, and the Alt-Right is interchangeable with Nazis. There is NO DAYLIGHT between them.
Now, let's take your premise a little further.
"Firing Lefties" is already happening all over this country and it's not challenged. We're told "it's the free-market" that causes "lefties" to lose their jobs.
Dixie Chicks is one of numerous examples that come to mind. Meanwhile, although the majority of this country is Center-Left, we allow over 1,200 Hate Radio stations to spew nothing but "alt-right" bullshit AND DON'T LIFT A FINGER to try to stop it.
There should be NOWHERE where Nazis views simply become just the normal "other side" of political discourse.
That's why beating the shit out of the Retrumplicans in 2018 is just a small step in restoring decency and normalcy to our nation.
