I’m signing because I was a student of Dr. James Whitfield at Richland High School and I can whole heartedly say that none of the accusations or statements made about him are true. He taught with nothing but love for everybody despite their beliefs and had not one ounce of hate even when people did the opposite to him.

Dr. Whitfield is being targeted for political gain & has done nothing to warrant this attack. He is an excellent leader and a top-notch member of our community.

Have had kids in schools where he was/is principal and his actions as an administrator, interactions with students and communications with parents garnered nothing but tremendous respect from me.

Dr. Whitfield is the most positive, encouraging principal my kids have ever been led by. One of my children found herself in a bit of trouble her sophomore year and Dr. Whitfield, her AP at the time treated her with kindness, and respect but was also fair with her punishment and even to this day she speaks very fondly of him.

I’m signing this petition because it’s the right thing to do. I’m very familiar with this district’s style of injustice, defragmentation of character, prejudice, racism, bigotry, lies, and bias treatment of minorities. I was a victim myself of GCISD’s mistreatment, exploitation and what I consider systemic racism.

I feel like James Whitfield is under a personal attack for no good reason at the district school board meetings. James Whitfield is loved by so many students and teachers. He would do anything his school.

He is a wonderful example for students and GCISD should be proud to have him!

Colleyville Heritage High School and the GCISD school district are awful, and full of racism. I hated the school when I attended 14 years ago, and still hate it today because of situations like this. I stand with Dr. Whitfield and hope he can move past this. Although it will always leave a mark, and will never be forgotten. This poor man. Much love to him and his family.

I'm signing to show my support of a stellar individual in Dr. Whitfield whom is fighting to empower ALL of our children with equality.

I'm signing because what Dr.Whitfield is teaching and supporting is the right way to teach. We learn both sides of the story while what the man in the white shirt and people yelling in the audience said were wanting him fired and for us to not be taught both sides or any sides. He wants to restict our learning which isnt the point of public education and that is why I'm signing.

Dr Whitfield was a great principal for my son. He respected and supported him. A great leader. I think the world needs more men like him.

Dr Whitfield was one of the only men to stand with me when I tore my ACL. Now I stand with him.

Whoever had a problem with the beautiful picture - those people are the problem. You can always keep scrolling if you don’t like what you see - isn’t that what they say?

I whole-heartedly support Dr. Whitfield as CHHS Principal where my daughters attend, as I have witnessed firsthand his dedication to student advocacy, enthusiasm for education and servant leadership at both HMS and CHHS.

Diane Waller (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

I'm signing because principal Whitfield is the most caring person I know, he loves everyone just the way they are no matter what. He always puts a smile on mine and everyone's faces every day we pass by him. He knows how times can be hard for the students at chhs and he always tries the hardest to help us out. Principal Whitfield is so respected at chhs because he is a leader and role model for us and the staff not because he has to be the principal but because he wants to be a great model for the students such as i.

I’m signing because Dr. Whitfield is the best principal I’ve ever had. He’s so nice and cool with his students.

Dr. Whitfield has created so much positive change in every school that he has entered. I did not see one person of color speaking negatively about him at this board meeting. These parents need something better to do, I’m sorry but it’s true. They do not understand.

Adrienne Frazier (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

i’m signing because he has done nothing but amazing things for us and if he needs us, we’re there for him always

I am tired of the ridiculous behavior shown by Crazy Clark and his followers. The leaders in our district need to do better at putting these small-minded pot stirrers in their place and let them know, once and for all, that we will NOT tolerate the hate mongering.

DR WHITFIELD IS DA GOAT

juliana grider (colleyville, 2021-08-03)

i’m signing because he’s a leader and guides teenagers to stand up against hate and racism. RACISM ISN’T POLITICAL!!! nor shouldn’t be up for debate, firing him won’t silence what’s happening. if gcisd is racist then say that.

I’m signing because, Dr.Whitfield is the most caring principal I have ever had in the almost 11 years I have been apart of GCISD. He is the only principal I have had to be so invested in the well being of his students. He always has smile on his face, which makes coming to school more pleasant. Dr.Whitfield deserves nothing but the best. I stand along with many others to support Dr.Whitfield.

Signing because this is ridiculous to censor family love. There is nothing wrong with these photos.

Denai Martinez (Lewisville, 2021-08-03)

I am signing because I know exactly what Dr. Whitfield is experiencing and I know the vitriol he is facing is nothing but a political ploy by a small minded group to degrade GCISD. I will not sit on the sideline while such fictitious propaganda is disseminated. #IStandWithDrWhitfield

I’m signing this petition because I find this behavior in direct violation of the statement: “Discussions of personnel or comments regarding District employees are not appropriate during Board meetings.” as noted in the document, GCISD Board of Trustees Frequently Asked Questions.
And I don’t see anything wrong about Dr. Whitfields picture of he & his wife.

Bella Kaplan (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

There is a culture of bias and discrimination being fomented in GCISD that must be stopped.

I believe dr Whitfield is an amazing man, deeply cares for the students in GCISD and needs to be allowed to do what his was hired to do. His commitment and integrity is unquestionable.

I’m signing because I have seen, as a parent of a CHHS student, the grace and integrity of Dr. Whitfield. I am a teacher in this district, and my son is a senior at CHHS. Dr. Whitfield and his staff have been an “anchor” for my son during one of the most difficult times in his life. Dr. Whitfield deserves our support for all the greatness he brings to the table every single time.

Angie Vaughan (Bedford, 2021-08-03)

My sons are students at CHHS. Dr. Whitfield has been such a bright spot in a hard year. He is an incredible educator who puts students first.

Dr. Whitfield is SO needed in GCISD & as a HS principal, the kids, staff & parents adore his kind, welcoming & inclusive demeanor. He is a true leader & we are blessed that our girls have had him as their principal.

Griselle Sanchez (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

Dr. Whitfield is a fine man and is being victimized by the right-wing culture warriors of Colleyville.
GCISD must stand against these bigots and uphold the highest, most diverse educational standards/practices for the betterment of all our children. The whitewashing of history and reality must not take place at any GCISD school. School is for education, and education must include critical thinking.

Randy Bell (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

I stand with Dr. Whitfield. He has proven to be a caring and fair principal and must be allowed to continue to participate in the education of our children.

I'm signing this because I want diversity in our school system with our students and the faculty. My family stands with Dr. Whitfield!

Dr. Whitfield is an incredible principle and does not deserve the persecution he is facing. I am so disappointed in the parents who are calling for his termination.

Christian Englert (Euless, 2021-08-03)

#593

Dr Whitfield is an amazing man! He’s so kind and passionate about his career. He worked at a school my daughter went to and I work with his wife Kerrie, who is as equally kind and loving.
