Texas principal James Whitfield is fighting back after his school district told him to take down a pic of him and his wife.
Whitfield became the first Black principal of Colleyville Heritage High School in 2019 and was told to take down a pic of him kissing his white wife soon after in an email of the pic with the caption “is this the Der. Whitfield we want leading our schools?”
The pic was one from him and his wife’s anniversary photoshoot. He says he took it down and it didn’t come up until recently after a heated discussion on race at the school district.
The district says that they asked because they wanted it to be a smooth transition for Whitfield since he was the school’s first Black principal but he says it’s because they’re an interracial couple.
