Army official says a cadet in the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps will be removed from the program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for posting racist, anti-Semitic and 'pro-Nazism' messages on social media.

A cadet will be removed from the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps for posting racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and “pro-Nazism” messages on social media, an Army official said Wednesday.

Martha Gerdes is on a “leave of absence” from the program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte pending her disenrollment from the ROTC, according to U.S. Army Cadet Command spokesman Maj. Robert Carter. Army Times was the first to report the discipline against Gerdes.Gerdes was a student at Davidson College in North Carolina when the Army began investigating last November.

Carter said Gerdes admitted to investigators that she anonymously posted the statements on her Twitter account, ”@femanon,” which has been suspended. Gerdes’ online activities “are inconsistent with the high moral expectations of a future Army officer,” he added. “Army ROTC remains committed to leadership excellence through diversity,” Carter said in a statement.Gerdes was enrolled at Davidson from August 2015 to November 2018, majoring in physics and working as a teaching assistant in the German studies department, said college spokesman Jay Pfeifer. He said he can’t comment on the circumstances of her departure from Davidson.that Gerdes posted messages that appeared to advocate for a race war and defend the Nazi party.
