The conservative website IW Features this week deleted an article published last year by San Diego activist Amy Reichert that profiled one of the teenagers suspected in Monday’s attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego, detailing his criticism of his school’s ethnic studies course.Reichert’s June 2025 article — “This California Family is Fighting Back Against a Mandatory White Privilege Curriculum“— argued that the teen felt “singled out” and “targeted as a person of lesser value” by the class because he came from a mixed-race background.The FBI this week said the two shooting suspects were radicalized online, where they met and bonded over white supremacist propaganda. In a 75-page document outlining his white supremacist ideology, the suspect espoused hatred to Islam, immigrants, Jewish people, Black people, women and trans and gay people, among other groups. He wrote that his “religion is the white race.”
Reichert’s article, which identified the suspect and his mother with pseudonyms, does not discuss guns. But IW Features removed the article immediately after the attack because of the “criminal allegations” against the person profiled, the site’s editor said.
“IW Features maintains high standards of integrity and credibility from its storytellers, including those published pseudonymously,” said Andrea Mew, managing editor of IW Features, in an email to Times of San Diego. “After public criminal allegations surfaced concerning an individual whose comments were featured in one article, IW Features removed the article by a contributing writer from its website.”
IW Features, an online commentary site, says it supports “grassroots storytelling” and “policies that reduce government red tape and return resources and control to people, so that we have healthy communities and people can pursue their own visions of happiness.” The site continues to list Reichert as a contributor. The article is still available on Web Archive.
A day after the shooting, Reichert shared excerpts of the suspects’ hate-filled document in a stream of social media posts. The suspect’s names were known then, but she did not mention that she had interviewed the shooter and his mother last year.On Wednesday, she disclosed her connection on social media and in an appearance on One America News Network.
She told Times of San Diego that it did not immediately occur to her that she had spoken to the suspect, and she needed to put the pieces together by going through her text exchange with the suspect’s mother after the mother reached out to her in April of 2025. “In no way am I suggesting that taking an ethnic studies class had anything whatsoever to do with this shooting,” Reichert told Times of San Diego.
The May 18 attack on the Islamic Center left three people dead. The two teens were found dead nearby, police said, of self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
The parents of the teen in Reichert’s profile have not addressed the shooting publicly.
The other suspect’s family issued a statement Thursday apologizing for the devastation their son’s actions caused.“Exposure to hateful rhetoric, extremist content, and propaganda spread across parts of the internet, social media, and other online platforms, contributed to his descent into radicalized ideologies and violent beliefs,” they wrote.
