Florida teacher Dayanna Volitich, 25, has been ‘removed from the classroom’ pending an investigation into a white nationalist podcast called ‘Unapologetic’ that she is accused of hosting under the pseudonym ‘Tiana Dalichov’
A Florida public school teacher has been ‘removed from the classroom’ after she was reportedly unmasked as the voice of a white nationalist podcast.
Dayanna Volitich, 25, was identified as the voice of the white nationalist blog called ‘Unapologetic’ on Saturday by HuffPost.
On the show, it is believed the Crystal River Middle School teacher boasts about spreading her right wing views in the classroom under the pseudonym ‘Tiana Dalichov.’
Under ‘Tiana,’ Volitich is reported as running a Twitter account and hosting a podcast which is available on iTunes.
In her most recent episode, the ‘Tiana’ character discusses her white nationalist views and how she was careful about spreading them among the children she was teaching.
On social media, ‘Tiani’ tweeted that institutional racism and white privilege were ‘bull****’ concepts.
The School District said in its statement that it was ‘made aware of a concerning podcast by a Huffington Post reporter’ on Friday, March 2.
Though Tiana deleted all of her social media accounts, her podcast is still live on iTunes
‘The Human Resources department was notified and an investigation was initiated immediately,’ the statement continued.
‘The teacher has been removed from the classroom and the investigation is ongoing. Pursuant to Florida Statute an open investigation and materials related to it are exempt from public record and cannot be discussed until the investigation is complete.’
The ‘Tiana’ Twitter account has supported tweets about white supremacists including KKK figurehead David Duke, and is gushing in her praise of authors who others have been deemed anti-Semitic.
Volitich was linked to the podcast this week by The Huffington Post which published her tweets and social media photographs on Saturday before she deleted her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Pictures which came from those accounts match her profile on the Crystal River Middle School Website.
The last ‘Unapologetic’ podcast featured guest subject Lana Lokteff, the host of Red Ice TV, a white nationalist internet YouTube channel based in Sweden.
In the podcast, ‘Tiani’ says she is ‘getting more underhanded’ in how she espouses her views to the children she teaches.
Regarding white supremacists becoming teachers in public schools, a guest said on the ‘Unapologetic’ show:
‘They don’t have to be vocal about their views, but get in there. Be more covert and just start taking over those places.’
To that, ‘Tiana’ replied: ‘Right, I’m absolutely one of them.’
On Twitter, ‘Tiana ‘ spreads her views including her belief that institutional racism is ‘not real’
Another tweet says, ‘It isn’t supremacist or hateful to prefer your own people over others’
She also references to the ‘JQ,’ an abbreviation for the anti-Semitic term, ‘Jewish Question’
She has also argued with others who tried to separate Islam from terror
The ‘Tiana’ account asked Twitter user to ‘prove to me that white privilege exists’
‘Tiana’ goaded Twitter about suspending her account for violating its terms of service
‘Tiana’ has praised author Kevin McDonald who has been widely criticized as anti-Semitic
The woman has also shared support for the KKK figurehead David Duke

On social media, ‘Tiana’ had also referred to the ‘JQ’, a casual abbreviation for ‘the Jewish Question’ which refers to treatment of Jews in the 19th and 20th Century.
It’s an anti-Semitic concept, used to refer to the ‘issue’ of Jewish people in society.
‘Tiana’ admitted during the podcast that one parent emailed the principal of the school where she worked, which was not named, to express concern about her political views.
‘She emailed the principal over my head and basically told her: “I’m worried that your teacher is injecting her political bias into her teaching,”‘ the voice said.
‘She came to me and said, “I’m not worried, should I be worried?”. I was like “no” and she believed me and she backed off.
‘I get it. If it were the other way around with leftists, I would be paranoid.’
Lokteff suggested they should start a private network of right-wing schools where they could teach children about Slavic traditions and Pagan and Christian beliefs.
‘That’s a good idea! Hit me up!’ ‘Tiana’ replied.
They then discussed whether two children from Sweden and Nigeria would achieve the same IQ or grades.
Lokteff led that strand of conversation, saying:
‘Grades are also tanking with our super diverse all inclusive society where the kid from Nigeria and the kid who came from Sweden are supposed to learn exactly the same and have exactly the same IQ because equality!
Florida’s Crystal River Middle School where Volitich teaches said it was reviewing the material
‘There’s no differences at all between the ethnicity or the races, right? They’re all expected to get the same grades and do the same but that’s not the reality.’
The teacher replied: ‘Oh it’s not!’
On Saturday, after the woman’s alias was unveiled and she deleted her accounts, Lokteff defended her online.
She said the teacher had been ‘slandered’ and that she was targeted by a ‘leftist rag’ which has ‘never wanted diversity of thought/opinion.’
Crystal River School said it was investigating the tweets and the podcast on Saturday. They said the opinions expressed on the podcast and social media were not theirs.
