North Miami high school principal Alberto Iber has been removed from his position by the school board after people became upset over his comments posted to a Miami Herald online story about an officer in Texas who pushed a black teen to the ground at a public pool.

“I regret that I posted the comment, as it apparently upset people and became newsworthy. It was not my intent,” Iber said in a statement.
