laughing. one person was yelling repeatedly at the school board, you are full of it, in more explicit terms. that showed there were a lot of people in support of dr. whitfield throughout that hearing, and he even spoke himself in brief defense of the accusations against him. take a listen. >> i can assure you, i have not changed. i'm still the same man today as when you hired me. you promoted me twice in three years. what has changed since july 26th. >> thank you, dr. whitfield. >> now, as you mentioned, the school board said this was not about critical race theory, race or anyone calling for his firing in particular. dr. whitfield's lawyer today, however, said they asked the school board prior to that meeting space to defend themselves, to address the board and the lawyer says the board said no. instead, they were afforded the opportunity that the general public was just a minute to speak on their own situation.
