On Sunday, Florida's Citrus County School District suspended Dayanna Volitich, a first-year social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School who hosts a podcast that espouses white nationalist views. Voltich, who used the pseudonym "Tiana Dalichov" on her Unapologetic podcast, talked about spreading her white supremacist views in class while putting on a "dog-and-pony show" for school administrators to avoid detection. HuffPost connected Dalichov with Volitich last week, and the school district cited a "concerning podcast" in announcing that Volitich was being "removed from the classroom" pending an investigation.
