NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (WSVN) – North Miami Senior High School's principal has been removed from his position after he took to social media to voice his opinion on a police controversy in Texas involving an officer who was caught on video pushing a black teenage girl to the ground outside a pool party and brandishing his gun at other teens.

Alberto Iber posted a comment on a Miami Herald story regarding the actions of Texas Officer David Eric Casebolt. The post itself has since been removed but not before catching the eyes of others and causing passionate responses he may not have expected. The comment was linked to Iber's Facebook account, which revealed his picture and personal information, including his position at the school.

Iber, who had just finished his first year with the school, said he meant to write the comment anonymously and regrets his actions. He said he never intended to anger anyone. The comment read, "He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life. I commend him for his actions."

This nation is rushing headlong to hell. People have no idea about what is about to happen to them for all of this evil, no idea...

The far left is intentionally stifling discourse, and that will not end well. If people cannot express their thoughts openly, we will lose an important safety valve.

There is no freedom of speech. An illusion.

iami-Dade Superintendent of Schools Alberto Carvalho said Iber's actions were inconsistent with school board policies.

"But," he added, they were more importantly inconsistent "with our expectation of common sense behavior that elevates the dignity and humanity of all, beginning with children."

This man should be fired immediately and furthermore, allowed 30 days to liquidate all of his assets and NEVER return to this country again. And if he were to return, he would be caned and imprisoned for not less than 30 years. I would show him a consistent policy for ruining peoples' lives with his philosophy and decisions. He and is ilk are NOT elevating anyone's dignity or humanity by allowing or advocating young people acting like feral animals.

Looks like the ONLY free speech allowed is that supporting evil actions. Any truth spoken only brings full scale attacks now.

A teacher friend told me that a directive came down telling them to stay off social media all together. I don’t know if there were penalties, but I assume if they put something controversial online they’d be fired. (In today’s world the Left can make “good morning” into a racist or sexist or speciest rant.)

When someone starts talking like Covalho, all I hear is blah blah blah. Miami Dade Schools? It is like when I hear someone say, “I get that. I really do.” Look out because somebody is gonna get dressed down.

You don't know the half of it - it's also being stifled on the Right as well, because the Right is terrified of sexist/racist/homophobe labelling, loss of job, digital bullying, and Federal harassment.

And yes, all of that has happened in the last six years at an exponential curve. The Left has reached critical mass, and they know that they can say or do anything they want, and there will be no blowback from the Right.

And people still think voting is the solution....

Perfect summary.

The only way freedom of speech as a first amendment right can be defended is for the harmed party, the fired principle to take this to court. And sue that superintendent and whatever school board officials personally for damages. Not by going after the school the county or state.

After a few examples of ruined financial and professional careers for violating the first amendment we'll probably see less of this sort of nonsense.

You said a mouthful. ESPN is about to give a "Lifetime Acheivement" award to "Caitlin" Jenner. Excuse me while I projectile puke. This craphole is beyond putrid.

Our only hope is to pray that none of us gets what we deserve.

Yes, but it also looks like a really good lawsuit against the district and the superintendent too. Evidently Alberto Carvalho brought his “beaner” ways with him from whatever south of the border $hit hole he came from. Sure glad I don’t have any children in school today, but I do worry about our grandkids.

Unfortunately these a$$holes are covered in their “employment contracts” by district-paid errors and omissions insurance most likely, so the district (or it’s insurance carrier) will shoulder the costs of the prosecution. Still, if enough of this stuff goes to court, insurance carriers would start raising premiums or deny coverage so the lawsuits will have a positive effect.

Miami-Dade schools???

Whenever I hear them mentioned, I think of one of their most illustrious alumnae.

Alas, she "Can't read no cursive."

Not when the elections are rigged. My boss, who is VERY knowledge about how things work in high level circles, told me Hillary will be President, no matter what. He does not approve of her or the leftist philosophy, just stating the truth. Another man, who runs with the big boys in public education, told me the same thing.

The left has brought us a society that denies the truth, even worse, they punish truth tellers. It will eventually result in a “re-set” and that is going to be ugly!

****************

The Gods Of The Copybook Headings

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall.
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn.
That water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision, and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorilas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither clud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshiped the Gods of the Market Who promiced these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promiced perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘Stick to the Devil you know.’

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promiced the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘The Wages of Sin is Death/’

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selective Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘If you don’t work you die.’

The the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tounged wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to belive it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four-—
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Rudyard Kipling
