"A Texas school board member admitted that they fired a Black high school principal for pushing critical race theory.
In a video posted on Facebook, Tammy Nakamura, a newly elected member of the board, revealed to a Republican National Committee-sponsored school board panel in June that former Colleyville Heritage High School principal James Whitfield was fired for his antiracist activism.
According to Nakamura, "the straw that broke the camel's back" ultimately got Whitfield fired was a letter he sent out last June to the school community, which accused Whitfield, the school's first Black principal, of teaching critical race theory.
The letter, which was obtained by the Texas Tribune, was in reaction to the wake of protest relating to the death of George Floyd."
