  • A social studies teacher in Florida reportedly hosts a white-nationalist podcast.
  • She has been removed from the classroom as the school investigates.

A Florida middle school teacher who reportedly hosts a white-nationalist podcast has been removed from the classroom, The Huffington Post reported.

Dayanna Volitich, a social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School, had hosted the "Unapologetic" podcast using the pseudonym "Tiana Dalichov," according to The Huffington Post.

On one recent episode of the podcast she argued that certain races were smarter than others and agreed with a guest on the podcast who said that more white supremacists need to teach at public schools.

Volitich also revealed that the principal of the school received complaints from parents that she was adding political bias to lessons.

A Twitter account under the pseudonym Tiana Dalichov has been deactivated, but the account previously shared tweets from avowed white supremacist David Duke, according to The Hill. The account also previously tweeted that terror attacks will continue "until we eradicate [Muslims] from the face of the earth."

After the Huffington Post broke the story, Crystal River removed Volitich from the classroom and an investigation is underway.
