Florida Teacher With White Nationalist Podcast Brought Racist Views Into Class

According to the Huffington Post, a social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School in Florida named Dayanna Volitich has been secretly hosting the white nationalist podcast "Unapologetic." Under the pseudonym "Tiana Dalichov," Volitch used the podcast to spew her racist views each week.

Unfortunately, Volitch didn't confine her hate to the podcast, having bragged during one episode about how she brought her racist beliefs into the classroom. During the same episode, she agreed with her guest that more white nationalists need to infiltrate public schools to indoctrinate impressionable students.

Dayanna Volitich has been "removed from the classroom" pending an investigation, but that's not enough. Please sign this petition demanding that Citrus County School District fire her today!

Ample evidence from the podcast and Volitch's own social media accounts shows that Volitch is unfit to be a teacher. Not only did she brag about lying to the school administration when parents complained about her using the classroom as a platform for her hateful views, she also believes that kids of different backgrounds have different IQs — something that is patently false.

How can we trust her to be an effective teacher and support her students equitably?

Dayanna Volitch has no place in a classroom. Sign now to urge Citrus County School District to keep white nationalists out of the classroom and fire Volitch immediately.
Update #15 years ago
This teacher has submitted her resignation. The problem? The school board still has to vote whether or not to accept it. Keep sharing the petition to urge the school board to accept the resignation. She has no business being a school teacher.
