Principal Fired for Defending Others’ Free Speech When the Police Wouldn’t

Winchester, VA – The Daily Caller is reporting on the firing of Nicholas Dean, principal of the Cresent Leadership Academy, a school for at risk, mostly poor students that no other schools will accept. Two years ago his work with these children, many minorities, was laudable enough to earn him public praise from NPR, but now he is a disgraced racist, bigoted white supremicist. His offense? Defending Confederate statue apologists from attacks by antifa activists. Of a similar protest the week before he said, “The antifa showed up in a military style vehicle, threw bottles at people, maced a woman in a wheelchair and punched the monument supporters. The police stood down while they were attacked. I went to stand for free speech and to oppose the Marxists by standing my ground.”
