Exclusive: Florida Public School Teacher Has A White Nationalist Podcast

Source: HuffPost




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

By Christopher Mathias, Jenna Amatulli, and Rebecca Klein

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.

“She believed me and backed off,” she said.

and someone with a name like "Dayanna Volitich" will get it in round 2.

By her friendly smile and profession, she probably gets mistaken for a liberal quite often.

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.

“She believed me and backed off,” she said.

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.”

OH, what do you think of that??...lied to the boss? What happens next?

Especially about "injecting political bias"...white nationalist crap....into the classroom. Social studies teacher lying to the boss, and injecting white nationalism into middle school classes..??????????

Let's see...thinking this over for a moment....

Isn't that close to Nazi thinking?.. The Nazis were an enemy of the United States in WWII...

First year teacher lies to the boss about teaching Nazi ideas in the classroom of a middle school in the U.S.A. and then publicizes it...on some "podcast".... ????????????????????????

not smart at all....publicizing lying to the boss and how she got away with it...no not smart....and...1st year teachers are under special rules..usually..
................................and this idiot has broken a very simple rule..."Don't lie to the boss"

Oh my???? Let's think again....

Will they fire the teacher for lying to the boss?
How long will that take?
..........and.....best question of all....Will she ever get another teaching job? that one I know...NO. this person will never get another teaching job.......

Perhaps Trump will higher her, but she is not a very good liar...but then, neither is Trump...

and explain very carefully what their children are telling them and provide information about the podcast.

Unfortunately, middle school kids for the most part are too docile to complain about this kind of crap. They're told over and over that the teacher knows best and shouldn't question her. Plus, if they themselves belong to a church-going family, they get the message on that front not to question authority.

But yeah, I agree she should lose her job and never be able to get another one in a public school.

...of the article stating that her district is 90% white, and then later in the article, that most of the kids qualify for free and reduced lunch?

And I'm guessing she and her ilk also bitch about "freeloaders" and "welfare queens" and the like.

42% of welfare recipients are of the Caucasian demographic; it’s been that way for some time now.

Often; in deeply GOP-held strongholds.
