Always worth noting - the self-reported mission of the school is:
“to train the minds and improve the hearts of young people through a content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue.”
Though, I get the feeling that some of those words are dog whistles. Don't read the following if you think this is a spurious accusation.
I feel that "classical education" is code for "rich white kids", while "principles of moral character and civic virtue" is shorthand for a Christian nationalist curriculum.

This part actually makes this story much, much more ironic/entertaining. They're eating their own in this case. This would be like some kind of a "Social Justice school" firing its principal for allowing one book by a white person to be read in class. The important difference is, the thing I just made up is fictional and this article is apparently not.
