The former principal at Colleyville Heritage High School who was the center of a controversy over accusations that he taught and promoted critical race theory has withdrawn as a candidate in the State Board of Education election.
James Whitfield filed to run as a Democrat against Republican Patricia Hardy on Dec. 13, the last day to file, but he withdrew Dec. 22 without giving a specific reason.
At a tense public school district meeting in July, Cookeville residents accused Whitfield of promoting "the conspiracy of systemic racism" and called for his firing.
