A substitute teacher in field hockey coach was fired from the academy of the holy cross after students at the all girl school discovered via social media that he was involved in the White Nationalist movement. The schools president said the teacher is a member of the alri tisha lewis joins us from kensington with the story. Tisha . Reporter and tony, i just checked my phone and the fired teacher, greg conte continues to post under greg ritter and posting messages that can be considered racist, extremist and also antisymmetric, message that is students were told discovered and brought to the administrations attention, now, the schools president said prior to contes firing, he was successfully using this alternate identity in his work with the National Policy institute, which is based in alexandria. Several organizations consider it a white supremist group. Students tell fox 5 theyre shocked i knew him quite well because i was on the feel hockey team. It was shocking for me and for everyone to see that. But im know that he had this double life but its also shocking because i wouldnt think that in this century that theres people still like that out there. Its pretty shocked to hear the news. But like we always knew, that something was kind of a little wrong with him in a way. But like, yeah, but like he was all the like, we never thought this was what it was. Like his personality, always kind of like awkward, he wouldnt really go out of his way to talk to us. And like but like i mean, we didnt know this was what it was. Reporter the president at holy cross said the information students gathered on social media about conte is accurate. Including contes admission that he was fired from the school immediately after his affiliation with the altright changed the administrations attention, school reportedly learned about the Connection Movement in october. Even though parents we spoke with say they learned about his firing late last night. I think she did exactly the right thing. Alert, the parents, and accepting the firing basically, the person. In a letter to parents, holy cross president kathleen said, in part, 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. It appears that at the time he was focused on maintaining an appropriate persona for our school environment. Greg conte under the alias greg ritter actually hosts what appears to be a podcast, Richard Spencer who actually led those violent and ultimately deadly protests in charlottesville. Conte were told work here at holy cross dating back to august, 2014, i did speak with the president of the school just moments ago, we do know that she and faculty met with students to address their concerns.
