Embattled (alt-right) Crystal River teacher resigns amidst podcast investigation

Dayanna Volitich, the Crystal River Middle School history teacher who is under investigation for allegedly expressing white nationalist and alt-right views on a podcast she hosted under a pseudonym, has resigned, according to Citrus County Schools.

In March 2018, a report of Volitich hosting a podcast called "Unapologetic" under the name "Tiana Dalichov" surfaced on the Huffington Post website. At the time, Volitich was a Social Studies teacher at the school.

In a clip from the podcast — Volitich allegedly talks about hiding her political beliefs from administrators and agreed with a guest she was interviewing that people who share white nationalist opinions need to infiltrate schools and "take them back."

Upon learning of the report, Citrus County Schools issued a statement saying they'd removed Volitich from the classroom and initiated an investigation.

Volitich later issued a statement through her attorney stating that she was not, in fact, a white nationalist, and that in the podcast she "employed political satire and exaggeration, mainly to the end of attracting listeners and followers."

According to the school district, Volitich's resignation will not be final until it is reviewed by the school board, pursuant to School Board policy, and that the investigation into Volitich's case is still ongoing.

Some parents and grandparents of children who attend or will be attending Crystal River Middle expressed relief and guarded optimism about Volitich's departure.

"Very happy about it, very happy," said Deborah McNeil, whose grandson attends the school. "Just fearful she will go to another school with other children."

"We'll definitely be monitoring this a whole bunch," said Doug Nicholson, whose grandson will be entering middle school at Crystal River soon. "Get a fresh start somewhere else and maybe use her head this next time."

The review of her resignation is scheduled for the next school board meeting on April 10.

So an educator has a podcast under a pseudonym, espouses right-wing ideologies, and she's suddenly in violation of all sorts of things. Yet her contemporaries can preach Communism, support student walkouts for gun control, and support a foul-mouthed 17 year old on national TV, and they get nothing?

If I ever have kids, we are homeschooling. This is ridiculous.

They labeled her as ‘alt-right’. That’s a dogwhistle for white nationalist. Even though at the beginning, alt-right just meant they were against taking down historical statues (confederate statues in the south).

I was just gonna say, the alt-left radical extremists don’t have the same problem espousing their hate and discontent.

Another actor brought in to help the anti-white narrative. Just like the “Alt-Right” hate group that appeared out of no where back in 2016. Praising Trump and doing hiel Hitlers...right!

agreed with a guest she was interviewing that people who share white nationalist opinions

Call me skeptical when they don't quote the statement that she supposedly agrees with.

“Volitich allegedly talks about hiding her political beliefs from administrators and agreed with a guest she was interviewing that people who share white nationalist opinions need to infiltrate schools and “take them back.”

If she said these things, why isn’t she quoted?

Sounds made up to me.

Again people, this is a war. Cover your face and use a War Name.

This is not the America you like to pretend that it is.

Hmm... No direct quote on the charges.
Did she state a belief in the US Constitution? Perhaps a belief in border control? Either will get you labeled as a “white supremacist” these days.

When are Republicans going to start pushing legislation to stop this nonsense? The teacher was not promoting her views on the job, unlike so many other teachers.

"People who share white nationalist opinions need to infiltrate schools and take them back." -- Bad, VERY BAD.

"People who share Cultural Marxist opinions have infiltrated schools for 50 years and taken them away from the predominant culture." Good, VERY GOOD.

And use a common name pseudonym so that google searches will come up with many matches.

under investigation for allegedly expressing white nationalist and alt-right views

Does anyone investigate teachers who express black and Latino supremacist, anti-white, or leftist views?

The question answers itself.
