Texas school puts its first black principal on leave in furor over Critical Race Theory
"I am not the CRT (Critical Race Theory) Boogeyman. I am the first African American to assume the role of Principal at my current school in its 25-year history, and I am keenly aware of how much fear this strikes in the hearts of a small minority who would much rather things go back to the way they used to be," he wrote.
Whitfield, who is married to a white woman, was also asked by the school district to remove photos with the couple together, with complaints saying they were inappropriate.

To the public it appears he has flipped on voting rights, but his old speech is still online. https://www.republicanleader.gov/leader-mccarthy-selma-civil-rights-activists-held-america-promise/
