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."

Tyrants “rule”. Free men consent to be “governed”.
If certain types ruled the US, they would be cranking up the ovens for conservatives.
Considering the Confederates were Democrats it might be modern day Democrats trying to erase their connection to slavery, secession , the Confederacy, The Civil War, their creation of the KKK , gun control and their creation of Jim Crow Laws.
“14 of their students were killed during a four year period.
The school administration has much bigger concerns.”
They’re deflecting, pretending that the root of their evil is the presence of the Evil Confederate Monuments.
