The Buffalo School Board voted 6 to 2 on Thursday to call on the state education commissioner to remove Carl P. Paladino from office, a decision made amid the rallying cry of thousands of people outraged by controversial remarks he made about President Barack Obama and the first lady.
A resolution approved by the board Thursday calls on Paladino to resign within 24 hours, or else the board will appeal to Commissioner MaryEllen Elia.

He later released a statement in response to the School Board vote.
