A Florida principal has been removed from his position after posting about the McKinney, Texas pool party on a news website.

Alberto Iber is still employed by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and has been assigned to administrative duties.

In response to the McKinney incident, Iber posted a comment on the Miami-Herald’s website: “He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life. I commend him for his actions.”

Some questioned how a high school principal who works with teens could support a police officer who pulled a gun on teenagers.
