Exclusive: Florida Public School Teacher Has A White Nationalist Podcast (Update)

Update from local paper: teacher removed from classroom pending investigation

http://www.chronicleonline.com/news/local/crms-teacher-removed-from-classroom-after-allegations-of-racist-remarks/article_4ed2339c-1f5b-11e8-bd0c-b32312c02415.html

This cretin teaches in my county school district! She shouldn't be allowed within 5 miles of any child.

Dayanna Volitich suggests Muslims be eradicated from the earth, believes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories ... and teaches middle school social studies.

Dayanna Volitich, a 25-year-old social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School in Florida, has been secretly hosting the white nationalist podcast “Unapologetic” under the pseudonym “Tiana Dalichov” and bragging about teaching her views in a public school, HuffPost has discovered.

In her most recent podcast on Feb. 26, a guest railed against diversity in schools, dismissing the idea that “a kid from Nigeria and a kid who came from Sweden are supposed to learn exactly the same” and have the “same IQ.” Volitich enthusiastically agreed with the guest, and went on to argue that “science” has proven that certain races are smarter than others.

In the same episode, Volitich boasted about bringing her white nationalist beliefs into the classroom and hiding her ideology from administrators. She said that when parents complained to the school’s principal about how she is injecting political bias into the classroom, Volitich lied to the principal and said it was not true.

Volitich also agreed with her guest’s assertion that more white supremacists need to infiltrate public schools and become teachers. “They don’t have to be vocal about their views, but get in there!” her guest said. “Be more covert and just start taking over those places.”

“Right,” Volitich said. “I’m absolutely one of them.”

so I imagine there is some conversation going on with the principal.

I am curious to see what will happen. Our school superintendent is one of the only elected Democrats in the county. They need to fire that teacher's bigoted ass and have her escorted out by security.

it seems the school was going to go after an anti Trump teacher but he retired before any discipline could be handed out

A social studies teacher at Crystal River High School, also a part of the Citrus County school district, retired in 2017 before he could be disciplined for using inappropriate language in the classroom. That teacher, Andreas Zybell, who had worked at the high school for 16 years, called Trump supporters, “white trash, uneducated and redneck,” during a November 2017 class, according to the Citrus County Chronicle.

Zybell would have been disciplined if he had not retired, the newspaper reports.

lets see what they do with this white supremacist

Why wouldn't the kids listen to teachers if they didn't know better.
Many school boards are infiltrated also
