A New Orleans school principal has been "removed from campus" after a photo emerged showing him standing at the Robert E. Lee statue in front of a Confederate flag.
Crescent Leadership Academy superintendent Tracy Bennett-Joseph confirmed Monday (May 22) that Principal Nicholas Dean was removed from campus. She said the school's management was investigating.
"With the recent events in the city it is important that this matter is thoroughly reviewed," she said.
Dean said he did go to the monument Thursday evening to take photos as rumors circulated of the statue's imminent removal. Mayor Mitch Landrieu had the statue of the Confederate general taken down Friday, the last of four Confederate monuments to go.
However, Dean said the fact that he was shown standing next to monument supporters was pure coincidence.
"I didn't go to protest for either side. I went because I am a historian, educator and New Orleans resident who wanted to observe this monumental event," he said. "People who know me know that I am a crusader for children and I fight tirelessly on their behalf."

This is getting to be utterly ridiculous....
History is history whether you like it or not....
Just another attempt by the socialist-democrats to erase their history.
Does anyone think there is now, or has there ever been, a politician in Louisiana with the stature of Robert E. Lee?
The Taliban wing of American politics.
The flag (if the story is true) is the problem.
I found out during my 18 month tour in higher ed IT that committing thought crimes were the worst things anyone could do there.
Say or even imply that the wun was anything less than a supreme being, dark clouds would form.
A worthless oxygen thief that is very likely still there keyed a VIPs Mercedes, lied often about goofing off on campus, sleeping on the job regularly, and no telling what else, he muddles along. He is a little hippie type in his own little world. Maybe he’s kept for entertainment.
It’s a sign that If certain types ruled the US. We would become a third world nation in short order.
its a tough school, real tough.
14 of their students were killed during a four year period.
The school administration has much bigger concerns.
Not with me. The people who were leaders under that flag were many times the better than what we have today or the Republicans have ever been. Trump excluded.
Feed him to his students. Can’t have a proper Communist run political purge without bloodlust and cultural revolt.

I sure hope Boss Hog finally got them Duke Boys.
This whole things is completely ridiculous. These effing snowflakes whom can’t handle historical facts have serious mental problems.
Guilt by assossiation. Thought police working overtime
Nice-looking guy. What’s his name?
I mean his PR problem with the enemy. Optics is everything, it seems. The flag is the “lightning rod.”
