This week, a Massachusetts elementary school teacher was fired after he was exposed as an unabashed white supremacist writer who routinely published his work on white nationalist websites under multiple pseudonyms.
Suggested Reading
Heโs a self-described โrace realist,โ which, as far as I can tell, only means that heโs a Critical Race Theory-bashing, leftist-hating, garden-variety conservative who thinks white people are the truly oppressed racial group in a country dominated by whitenessโwhich makes him no different than your average GOPropagandist legislator in office right now.
Anyway, 33-year-old Benjamin Welton was fired from Star Academy in Watertown, Ma.โwhere he taught English, social studies and computer scienceโafter he was investigated by a group of researchers called the Anonymous Comrades Collective and then exposed to his employer by HuffPost.
The researchers found out that his whiny people greatest hits collection includes work he did as a freelance writer for the American Renaissance. In case youโre unfamiliar, itโs a white supremacist website that serves as a virtual gathering spot for mediocre white people to rant about how Black people are inferior to them while crying the saltiest of white tears over the normalization of anti-white rhetoric without smelling even a whiff of their own hypocrisy.
On this site, Welton wrote an essay titled, โFrom Wide-Eyed Liberal to Race Realistโ under the name Sinclair Jenkins.
From HuffPost:
Jenkins wrote that his radicalization began in the Navy, where it angered him to see โblacksโ be mean to his fellow white sailors. Later, in graduate school, he grew disgusted over the โingrained culture of anti-white hatredโ in academia. โAlso, once I began paying attention to the news, I started seeing why so many people in my hometown took a dim view of blacks,โ wrote Jenkins, who noted that he grew up somewhere in Appalachia. โAfter Ferguson and Baltimore, I understood that pumping money into the ghetto would never fix things.โ Later, he said, he discovered writers like John Derbyshire and Ann Coulter, who shared his distaste for immigrants, and websites like American Renaissance and VDare, which shared his firmly held belief in the โbiological foundations to race,โ and helped shape his white nationalist worldview.
Near the end of the article, Jenkins noted that he was a teacher, an audacious admission to make in a white supremacist publication.
If you need any more proof that Weltonโwho I canโt help but laugh at because, despite his extreme whiteness, he chose a Black-ass name like โSinclair Jenkinsโ to hide behindโis ideologically indistinguishable from the most prominent members of the current Republican Party. He also tweeted under a different pseudonym last August that making America great again โrequires defunding critical race theory.โ
According to the investigators, Welton also worked his neo-Nazi pen under aliases like โJake Bowyerโ and the second Blackest name a white supremacist could think of, โElias Kingston.โ
But in 2018, he wrote a piece under his real name called โAgainst Educationโ for a right-wing blog called the American Sun.
โYour typical man on the street in America 2018 A.D. will come up with a small catalog of answers about what to do with our education system,โ Welton wrote, HuffPost reports. โThe race realist will speak of declining worldwide IQs and Americaโs increasing mongrelization driven by unassimilated races with below-average intelligence capacities.โ
He also wrote a bunch of white nonsense on how education is wasted on non-whites while bitching about how he feels โAmerican college campuses today are essentially playgrounds for far-Left agitators, anti-White elitists, and subsidized international students.
โJust as abroad, if there is a โrape cultureโ on campus, it is largely being created because of the importation of Third Worlders,โ he wrote.
After the Anonymous Comrades Collective shared its findings with HuffPost, which then contacted Star Academy for comment, Welton was fired. He deleted all of his online activity, including a social media post from March 31, when he reportedly wrote: โNo mercy for our enemies. Do not weep, for they are not human. Treat those who want to abolish โwhitenessโ with the same venom if not more. They deserve medieval punishments.โ He wrote this seven months into his job as an elementary school teacher.
More From HuffPost:
Earlier this week, before they fired Welton, Star Academy administrators said in an emailed statement that they had not been aware of the โconcerning online publications allegedly made by a teacher at the school.โ
Star Academy, the statement continued, is โcommitted to a diverse and inclusive community and embraces our responsibility as an educational institution to foster a safe and healthy environment for our students. We do not support, condone, or agree with white supremacism or white separatist ideologies.โ
After HuffPostโs inquiries, Star Academy deleted the Faculty page from its website, which had included a photo of Welton and a brief description of his job.
So basically, all of these right-wingers who are suddenly hellbent on ridding the world of Critical Race Theory are worried about the wrong thing. It is teachers like Welton who should be banned from the classroom.
But Welton pretty much embodies neo-conservatism, so I wouldnโt hold my breath for Republican lawmakers to have the same energy for teachers like him that they do for anyone who wishes to teach about America through a lens of Blackness.
