A middle school educator in Florida has come under scrutiny for allegedly promoting white nationalist views through various online platforms. According to a report by HuffPost, Rebecca Thompson, a social studies teacher at Crystal Springs Middle School, has been utilizing a pseudonym, “Tina Dalichov,” to disseminate extremist content, including anti-Muslim rhetoric and white supremacist propaganda.
The investigation reveals striking similarities between Thompson and her alter ego, with both being 25-year-old teachers in Florida. While her Twitter account and podcast have since been removed, screenshots and audio from her podcast, titled Unapologetic, have been preserved and detail her troubling perspectives.
Disturbing Sentiments and Classroom Manipulation
In her tweets, Thompson expressed disturbing sentiments, asserting that it was not hateful to “prefer your own people” and dismissing the existence of systemic racism and white privilege. One particularly alarming tweet called for the “eradication of Muslims from this earth.”
In a recent episode of her podcast, Thompson discussed how she manipulated her students and school administrators regarding her classroom teachings. “I told the kids that I would be different in class, and I wanted them to play along,” she remarked, revealing a concerning approach to her role as an educator. Additionally, she recounted an incident where a parent raised concerns about her political bias, and the principal seemed unconcerned after speaking with her.
Investigation and Ethical Concerns
Further investigations into her online presence revealed anti-Semitic content and interactions with notorious figures in the white supremacist movement. The status of her employment remains uncertain, as the district’s educational services director announced that an investigation would be conducted to determine if her actions violated ethical standards.
It is disheartening that Thompson was able to maintain her position as a social studies teacher without raising any red flags for over a year. The implications of her ideologies, especially in light of recent discussions around arming teachers, are alarming.
