Continuing on a current theme of white supremacists connected to TPUSA, one identification we didn’t have time to get around to last year was groyper / nazi / brony Kansas Zoomer, identified as Ian Ballinger of Kansas.
KZ was previously outed and became a meme online, but more concerning is that he still has a job working with kids.
Kansas Zoomer was an extremely dedicated personality in the Nick Fuentes groyper space between 2020-2022 with at least a dozen accounts.
He was hard doxxed on the KiwiFarms boards at some point during the ‘wignat’ war with groypers, but since we don’t trust the work of KF or nazis we did our own investigation.

Confirmation wasn’t difficult because he constantly told on himself. He posted the AF flags he bought, talked about school, talked about work, talked about where he lived…
He specified the distance it took to drive to McDonalds, and we confirmed it…
He talked about showing up to AFPAC II in Orlando, which we were able to verify with multiple pictures of his actual face.
Ian Quaid Ballinger also was pretty open about both TPUSA and groyper stuff on his personal Twitter account. And, overall, doesn’t seem to care that he’s posting white nationalist stuff on main.
Between 2018-2022, Ian Ballinger was a student at the University of Kansas involved in both TPUSA and Young Americans for Liberty. And, according to his old LinkedIn profile, he was the outreach director and social media manager for KU’s TPUSA chapter.
About a decade earlier, Ian was steeped in the My Little Pony fandom as a ‘brony’, with his eyes set on making fan films in the community. However, Hasbro denied permission to use their intellectual property.
Ian eventually devolved into racist pony posting on Twitter.
And nazi posting.

And… you get the picture. Not the best track record of good character or judgment.

We learned learned that Ian Ballinger ended up teaching computers, media, and social studies related classes at various middle and high schools in Kansas. After his initial doxxing we though he would get removed from the classroom, not just due to his nazi posts…
But because of his frequent comments about teenage girls and violence toward women. Ian Ballinger, formerly known online as Kansas Zoomer, should not be allowed ANYWHERE NEAR children.
The most recent thing we’ve found is that Ian is working at Prairie View Middle School at USD 362. He appears to have stepped away from the groyper scene as Kansas Zoomer since he got doxxed, but he is still around children and that is extremely alarming.
If anyone would like to notify the school about Ian’s history, please do so politely.
We’ll keep an eye on updates.
