Florida Middle School Teacher Admits She Hosted White Supremacist Podcast, Claims It’s Satire

Dayanna Volitich, a Florida social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School in Crystal River, Florida, also goes by the pseudonym “Tiana Dalichov” for a white supremacist podcast she calls Unapologetic. Dayanna Volitich also posted racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric routinely on her Twitter account, boasting that she was introducing her views into her middle school classroom.

Dayanna Volitich Admits To Hosting The White Supremacist Podcast But Says It’s Satire

Through her lawyer, Dayanna Volitich says that her podcast is just a hobby and it’s simply “political satire and exaggeration.”

Dayanna Volitich is now acknowledging that that white supremacist podcast Unapologetic is hers, even though she admits she had previously denied those views to her principal after parents complained that she was preaching a white nationalist point of view in her classroom. On one installment of her podcast, she had a guest on who explained that more white supremacists needed to get into the classroom and teach children.

“They don’t have to be vocal about their views, but get in there! Be more covert and just start taking over those places.”

Dayanna Volitich responded that this is her plan.

“Right. I’m absolutely one of them.”

After the press started asking questions of the Citrus County School Board, Dayanna Volitich scrubbed her Twitter account and website, but not before screenshots were taken, and downloads were completed.
