Florida teacher resigns after being linked to white nationalist podcast

A Florida middle school teacher has reportedly resigned after it was revealed that she hosted a white supremacist podcast.

Dayanna Volitich was removed from her classroom at Crystal River Middle School last month while district officials investigated after HuffPost reported she was behind the podcast “Unapologetic,” as well as a Twitter account full of racist and anti-Semitic posts.

Mike Mullen, the Citrus County School District assistant superintendent, said in a statement emailed to CNN on Monday that Volitich had submitted a letter of resignation.

{mosads}Mullen added that the resignation is not final until the school board accepts it at an April 10 meeting.

Volitich, who hosted the podcast under the name “Tiana Dalichov,” claimed it was political satire.

In one episode of the podcast, she talked about sharing white nationalist beliefs in the classroom, despite saying in a statement last month that her political beliefs are not “injected into my teaching of social studies curriculum.”
