Charter School Principal Fired For Appearing In Neo-Nazi Podcast
Nicholas Dean has been fired from the charter school where he was the principal.
NEW ORLEANS, LA —- Nicholas Dean, the princi- pal of Crescent Leadership Academy, a charter school in New Orleans that has a pre- dominantly black student body, appeared in a YouTube video wearing rings “associated with white nationalism and the Nazi movement,” the New Or- leans Times-Picayune’s Danielle Dreilinger re- ports has been fired.
Dean was also pho- tographed at the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee next to a Confeder- ate flag.
According to the Times- Picayune, Dean claimed that he only went as a “stu- dent of history” to witness the long-overdue removal of the Confederate monu- ments.
“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 mon- umental event,” Dean said. “People who know me know that I am a cru-sader for children and I fight tirelessly on their behalf.”
The video of Dean wear- ing Nazi rings—posted on YouTube on Thursday by photographer Abdul Aziz— tells a different story, as does his appearance on a “white genocide” podcast where he said some people know him as a white su- premacist.
