What vile creatures. That burner deserved to be diversified years ago.
Colleyville Heritage High School's new principal, Dr. James Whitfield, is now speaking out saying he wishes he could've taken more of a stand in 2019 after his photo first stirred up controversy within his community, according to NBC affiliate KXAS.
The professionally shot images, which were provided to PEOPLE by the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (ISD), show Whitfield and his wife Kerrie kissing and intimately positioned on the beach.
Whitfield explained in a Facebook post on Saturday that the photos were snapped 10 years ago while he and his wife were celebrating their 10-year anniversary in Mexico.
"I wish I had the conviction to say, 'No, I'm not going to take it down; that's a picture of me and my wife kissing on the beach; there's no reason for me to take this photo down,'" he told KXAS.
In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Grapevine-Colleyville ISD confirmed their request about removing the image, citing their concerns over Whitfield's "questionable" poses.
According to KXAS, wife Kerrie assumed the issue with the photos was that Whitfield was a Black man with a tattoo on his arm, which was inappropriate. Whitfield thought the problem was him being in an interracial relationship, the outlet reported.

I don't think I'm a prude at all to be proud that Mrs. S and I never "posed" anywhere close to that. My parents certainly never did. After Sandman Sr. died, she found an old photo album I hadn't seen before, and one picture was a night out. Their "intimate" pose was my mom putting her head on my dad's shoulder, and putting her hand on his other shoulder. Now here maybe I'm a prude: my dad was in a tux, and my mom was showing more cleavage than I ever thought she would have. I blurted out, "Mom, you went out dressed like that!"
