I stand with Dr. Whitfield. Stetson Clark should be banned from GCISD meetings.

Inclusion and diversity should be welcomed and celebrated. As a GCISD alum, I stand with Dr. Whitfield.

Dr. Whitfield should not be fired.

Dr Whitfield has every right to show what a beautiful marriage should entail. Being a loving husband should be celebrated and looked up to especially in today’s world.

I support Dr. Whitfield and his passion for students and education. He is an honorable representative of the community and I trust he is the best person to be principal of CHHS or any GCISD school for that matter.

He’s a great guy

I'm signing this petition because I support Dr. Whitfield. The claims made against him are factually incorrect and statements he has made are being taken out of context to be weaponized against him.

There is no room for hate or hateful acts. There needs to be more people like this gentleman!

I had Dr. Whitfield as a teacher in high school and I stand with him in regards to this matter.

All I can say is ..Wow.
I had an opportunity to move into this school district and with my grandchildren being Black this is one example of why I chose against it.

I believe the outrage is because it’s an interracial couple, nothing more.

Shavonia Finley (Euless, 2021-08-04)

I support Dr Whitfield. Mr. Clark's behavior is unacceptable.

Actual history should be taught in this country, not just the white-washed version that I was taught as a child. As a white female senior citizen who has never faced discrimination, I'm still smart enough to know that discrimination does exist, even if not directed at me. But I wasn't taught that as a child, and I want my grandchildren to learn the truth and understand that this country is not perfect but has always strived to be a better place to live for everyone, not just the privileged. Dr. Whitfield should be applauded for trying to teach the truth.

Sheila Redmond (Bedford, 2021-08-04)

Dr Whitfield is wonderful! I feel that he is the target of a racist group that has decided to go after him because he is black and because he has encouraged people to be anti-racist. Shouldn’t we all be anti-racist?

Laura West (Grapevine, 2021-08-04)

#1041

Dr. Whitfield is the best thing that has ever happened to CHHS!

Casey Hasley (Grapevine, 2021-08-04)

I’m signing because Dr. Whitfield has been such a positive role model to a lot of students lives including myself along with my little brother and older sisters.

Alexis Rivera (North Richland Hills, 2021-08-04)

I substitute teach is GCISD and have frequently worked at CHHS, Dr. Whitfield is a great administrator and deserves better than this attack on his character and personal life.

Cameron Luna (Euless, 2021-08-04)

I want all the blatant, unseen racism demolished from the world.

Martha Carbaugh (Chambersburg, 2021-08-04)

I don’t believe the prejudiced fringe minority should control the administration of our school.

Sarah Jach (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

#1058

I’m signing because this we should not allow these actions to be tolerated.

Abigail Averill (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

After spending 36 years teaching teenagers and supervising other educators, I can recognize quality educational leaders. Dr. Whitfield is an exceptional educational leader. Shame on GCISD for allowing anyone speaking at a public school board meeting to repeatedly violate the rules in stating Dr. Whitfield's name. GCISD is blessed to have Dr. Whitfield leading Heritage HS.

Nell Berry (Bedford, 2021-08-05)

#1082

I am signing because Dr Whitfield is an exceptional Principal who should not be treated this way. My family & I are African Americans, our son attends school in GCISD, Dr Whitfield was his 6th principal & WE Love him! There is not enough representation for African Americans in GCISD, and that has to change! Getting rid of one of the FEW African Americans that our children have for something that is completely untrue is not only racist, it is unacceptable!! My family & I will do whatever we need to do in support of Dr Whitfield

Jamie Bennett (Euless, 2021-08-05)

Dr Whitfield is an amazing principal.

Shreya Japee (Eulesd, 2021-08-05)

#1084

I’m signing this petition not only because I go to the same school hes the principal, but because he’s been a huge an wonderful Impact to the school an really been the leader that we need. He always had a smile on his face and always knew how to make a persons day better. And in that being said, we cannot let him get fired.

Girhomy Freyre (Grapevine, 2021-08-05)

Love has no color and this family is amazing!

Amanda Reyer (Haltom City, 2021-08-05)

#1086

This is ridiculous to have to go to these measures. Why put this family through this non sense. As a mixed race person I would have hoped GCISD would have gotten past racial bias years ago. But apparently not. Stop listening to people who’s minds are stuck in 1800’s. Wake up, welcome to 2021…

D.j. Brannan (Hurst, 2021-08-05)

#1087

I’m signing this petition because I stand with Dr. James Whitfield and believe he is an amazing principal who promotes a positive vibe within the school and promotes all equality with such a diverse population.

I am the great - aunt of children in this school district. The education they can receive here was one of many reasons the home in Colleyville was chosen. Attacks on employees for reasons and accusations like this make the entire district and area look bad. There have already been previous issues involving this school district that were publicly revealed and clearly racism. Accepting behavior attacking this educator shows the very negative side of this district.

Gayle Griffin (Haltom City, 2021-08-05)

#1092

I have two children in GCISD, and I am disgusted by the activities of Stetson Clark and anyone telling Dr. Whitfield to stay quiet. I stand with Dr. Whitfield!

Alison Ramsey (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

#1093

Dr. Whitfield has been treated unfairly. I see no wrong doing in his pictures nor is there an issue with introducing new information for students to learn. This country was and is built on racism and children deserve to know the truth, bad and good.

Saiydah Abdallah (Hanover, 2021-08-05)

#1096

I’m signing because dr Whitfield is a great and supportive person since I was in middle school in north Richland hills he was actually the assistant principal as well and long story short he was always one of the few people there who supported me and made me want to change for the better he saw that I could be something better than what people saw me as despite everything I have been through. He deserves to have his own rights and be free to post what he likes. What he posted was NOT inappropriate in any way shape or form and he should get a apology from everybody who has had something negative to say. He always greets his students with a smile and positive attitude and that is the way everyone should see him as.

Bianca Ayala (Irving, 2021-08-05)

Coach Whitfield was instrumental in coaching my boys at RHS and they love and respect him to this day. They are no 31 and 30. We love you coach!

He is an amazing person

Mr. Wakefield, my name is Ryan Bradford I met you when My son Evan Bradford Attended his first orientation at HMS - The moment you extended your hand to shake my son and I’s hand with a strong confident grip looking us both in the eyes and saying sincerely how nice it was to meet us and you were so glad we were their thanking us for coming with a smile upon your face, I knew you were the type of gentleman I wanted my son to be mentored by and modeled his character after!

I was so excited as was my son Evan that you were going to be his principle once again when he reached High School!

Stand strong my good sir, stay firm in your convictions, as firm and as confident as you were when we shook hands!
I pride myself on being a good judge of character and I can spot a fake a mile away! You sir are the real deal, and My wife and I are proud to have you as our Principle as My wife’s son Connor Coughran is now starting his Senior year At Colleyville Heritage!

Please let me know how we can back and support you in whatever small or large way possible, because bad actors will not be allowed to break your spirit and I back anyone that is a supporter of truth and what is in the best interest of our children’s education without the politics and the BS that comes with it.

Know that you are loved and supported and never surrender or lay down your sword!

Ryan & Chrystal Bradford

Racism is disgusting!

I am signing as an educator supporting an educator.

Libby Latchman (Irvine, 2021-08-05)

#1111

As a former Panther, I have always known
Dr. Whitfield to be an educator who always has his student's best interests at heart. His genuine care about ALL students, their lives, and the community they live in are all reasons why #IStandwithDrWhitfield

Saher Pirani (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

We have to stop the hate, love will over come like it did with Jesus. We have to support the greats.

M Ram (Nrh, 2021-08-05)

#1117

The ISD has overstepped their rights and infringed on this educator/administrator’s and personal rights and liberties.

Heather Ewing (DeSoto, 2021-08-05)

#1118

I support him because he adds value to GCISD and is a fabulous, intelligent, caring employee!

Eileen Antinone (Hurst, 2021-08-05)

#1128

I'm signing because Dr James Whitfield should never have had to remove, the pictures of him and his beautiful wife, from his FB account. They are pictures of a married couple celebrating their love for each other. Why would anyone think they have the right to censor parts of Dr Whitfield's life?

Again, Dr Whitfield co-presents a lesson about critical race theory, and is being told to censor himself. What? What century are we living in?

The actions of ignorant people are pulling at the threads of this community. The critical race theory, should be taught to those who oppose it. They should sit through the presentation, and then maybe they can be less ignorant.

Teresa Stainton (Vancouver, 2021-08-05)

Dr Whitfield is a terrific principal and leader. GCISD needs the excellent leadership during these trying days!

Loretta Plunkett (Grapevine, 2021-08-05)

#1137

I care about the well being of the students in GCISD as a retired teacher
of 26 years in the district. Outbursts
at a School Board Meeting must
not be allowed. The community supports Dr. Whitfield.

Julia Poda (Trophy Club, 2021-08-05)

We will not tolerate racism in our school district.

Sheila Baker (Grapevine, 2021-08-05)

Dr Whitfield is a valuable part of any educational program. He coached my son for several years in the Birdville school district. My son who is 25 years old now has mentioned often how Dr Whitfield helped guide him through his time in school.

Susan Mathews (North Richland Hills, 2021-08-05)

#1147

I'm signing this because I have met
Dr. Whitfield and he is an amazing principal.

Laura Meeks (Euless, 2021-08-05)

I stand behind Dr. Whitfield. He was principal for my daughter at Richland Middle School and was a wonderful role model and super supportive.

Shawna atkins (Richland Hills, 2021-08-05)

This is ridiculous. Are we going to have another Emmitt Till incident next?

Lisa Swoboda (West Sacramento, 2021-08-05)

#1157

I am a GCISD parent and I stand with Dr. Whitfield. Our district will not stand for bigotry of any kind. The attacks against Dr. Whitfield are egregious and we cannot stay silent.

Summer Hamilton (Mansfield, 2021-08-05)

#1158

I’m signing because I believe in what Dr Whitfield stands for. My faith in Jesus Christ calls me to act justly walk humbly love mercy and I will do just that.

Angie Bardin (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

Our family wants to show our support for Dr Whitfield

Debbie Jay (Colleyville, 2021-08-05)

This accusation & resulting request for termination is based on nothing but prejudice. It is totally baseless.

Heidi Shaban-Cortese (grapevine, 2021-08-05)

Whit is a dear friend of mine for 20+ years.
& I will support him to the end!!!

He was my high school basketball coach. He was an awesome coach.

Sam Winter (North Richland Hills, 2021-08-05)

#1172

I think Mr Clark is racist and hysterical. Systemic racism DOES exist. And we can't fix it unless we, as white people, acknowledge it. The lady after him was also speaking nonsense. She said we send our children to school with a goal of learning how to interact with others, but then goes on and on in support of only unhealthy ways of interacting (i.e., not acknowledging that lived experiences of different people ARE different, and that race is one of the visual markers that unfortunately DOES lead to these differences). I support Dr Whitfield, and I am concerned about putting my child into GCISD next year if the bigotry seen in this video remains unchecked. I will begin looking for alternatives.

Wendi MacMahon (Grapevine, 2021-08-05)

I’m signing because I have grandchildren - to deny children a qualified education administrator is more of the failed leadership I’ve experienced in Texas this past year.

Kathleen Bryson (Kerrville, 2021-08-05)

#1175

People are ridiculous and jealous!

Kristin Wyatt (Chesapeake, 2021-08-05)

#1181

I'm signing because I had Dr. Whitfield as an assistant principal for 3 years back when I was in middle school. He stayed on us about being the best version of ourselves, and never let students go down the wrong path. He was there for ALL students, and does not deserve this type of treatment.

Kyana Jones (irving, 2021-08-05)

#1182

I’m signing because I’ve never encountered a more “checked in”, present, kind, uplifting, empowering, humble, intelligent, and caring school administrator. Dr. Whitfield embodies the epitome of what we want our children to witness in their educators and administrators. I will support Dr. Whitfield until my voice runs out of wind - he is good for our children, and he should not be silenced, hushed, or filtered.

Nichole Harden (Euless, 2021-08-05)

#1183

I’m signing because this is an obvious group of people calling for Whitfield’s resignation who have no understanding of the truth of racism, but also how schools work. The school would lose funding of it taught something like CRT when it’s not approved curricula.

Amanda Bacon (Grapevine, 2021-08-05)

#1186

He's a great guy and doesn't deserve treatment he's getting

Jamin Flood (Springtown, 2021-08-05)

#1188

Dr. Whitfield is professional, compassionate and a tireless advocate for the students. He deserves our respect and recognition.

Jeri JeriBailey (Euless, 2021-08-05)

#1189

I am so tired of seeing positive people trying to bring truth and knowledge to our youth be bullied by white racism deniers. The comments made by this man speaking during the board meeting were untruthful and dangerous.

Leslie Martin (Myerstown, 2021-08-05)

#1197

Mr. Whitfield is an AMAZING VERY ARTICULATE MAN this in its self is an abomination in its self that we MUST SIGN A PETITION TO KEEP HIM AS MY CHILDREN’S principal!

Crystal McGee (Euless, 2021-08-05)

#1198

I do not believe in cancel culture nor is diversity training, CRT!
