Teacher removed from classroom after report she hosts a white supremacist podcast

“We have to take those institutions back,” “Dalichov” said. “Children is very important. The communists always knew that. They always wanted the minds of the children. That’s the future. So, if we can have more teachers in those positions, that would be great. And I do hear from teachers all the time, people who are closet “Red Ice” listeners that support what we do and I think that’s fantastic. We need a lot more of that.”

The website AngryWhiteMen.org posted on Thursday that the guest was Lena Lokteff, wife of Henrik Palmgren, owner of white nationalists multimedia outlet “Red Ice.”

Bigotry tracker Southern Poverty Law Center lists Red Ice among white nationalist hate groups. The Twitter account profile for @redicetv includes hashtags “EuropeFirst” and “Identitarian.” Example of a headline from its website: “Greatest Philosophers Were All White European Men.”

On the podcast, Lokteff mocked the idea that “The kid from Nigeria and the kid who came from Sweden are supposed to learn exactly the same, have exactly the same IQ because ‘Equality!’ There’s not a difference between the ethnicities and the races. They’re all expected to do the same, but that’s not the reality of it.”

On her since-deleted Twitter account, “Dalichov” used a picture of Voltich as the profile picture. The account extolled the work of men such as proudly anti-Semitic author Kevin MacDonald and Tweeted opinions such as, “It isn’t supremacist or hateful to prefer your own people over others.”

Sunday, Citrus County School District Superintendent Sandra “Sam” Himmel posted to the district’s Facebook page:
