A teacher in Texas has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into his alleged ties to a white nationalist group, school officials confirmed to HuffPost Thursday.

Stephen Arnquist, who teaches Japanese at Skyline High School in Dallas, will remain on leave “pending the outcome of an investigation” into comments Arnquist allegedly posted online, a spokeswoman for the Dallas Independent School District said in a statement.

Earlier Thursday, anonymous anti-fascist activists from an Oregon-based group called Eugene Antifa posted an article alleging that Arnquist is a member of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa.

Identity Evropa, whose members attended and helped organize the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is listed as an extremist organization by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

A Texas teacher is on leave after his ties to white nationalists were exposed, the Huffington Post reported.

Dallas teacher Stephen Arnquist, who teaches Japanese, allegedly posted online comments that signal an allegiance to white nationalists.

An antifa activist in Oregon revealed that Arnquist has ties to Identity Evropa, a fascist group originating in California.

The evidence does appear to link Arnquist to the group. He allegedly used the messaging app Discord, griping about being “a high school Japanese teacher in the ghetto.”
