25-year-old Dayanna Volitich is a Florida middle school teacher who’s been making many rounds within the news circuit lately. She was recently removed from the classroom after being outed as an alt-right podcaster and white nationalist. Under an alias named Tiana Dalichov, Volitich served as a co-host on a political blog named ‘Unapologetic’. She boasted about how she would outsmart her superiors, ‘infiltrating’ the school system to spread her right-wing beliefs upon students.
After being outed and thrust into a national spotlight, Volitich has released a statement claiming that her words on the show are nothing more than just political satire and exaggeration. She states that her claims about spreading racist views in the classroom weren’t truthful. Volitich’s lawyer has admitted that the voice on the podcast is in fact hers. In a statement obtained by NBC, Volitich defended her podcast while explaining its intention,
“‘[The show] employed political satire and exaggeration, mainly to the end of attracting listeners and followers, and generating conversation about the content discussed between myself and my guests. The views ‘Tiana Dalichov’ espouses do not pervade my professional career,” she added. “As an adult, my decisions are my own, and my family has nothing whatsoever to do with my social media accounts or my podcast. From them, I humbly ask for forgiveness, as it was never my intention to cause them grief while engaging in a hobby on my personal time.”
