Bothell principal steps away amid Charlie Kirk post controversy

BOTHELL — A Bothell high school principal has stepped away from his position following community concern over a social media post regarding the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Last week, North Creek High School Principal Eric McDowell posted an Instagram story on his personal, private account about Kirk’s death.

“Thoughts and prayers,” he wrote. “Too bad gun control would have been far far more effective (he’d still be alive). Maybe thoughts and prayers will work..oops – nope.”

The post drew the attention of right-wing social media accounts, with some calling on McDowell to resign.

That got doxxed and fired years ago for being at Charlottesville and other events.
The trouble with this that they are essentially having to side with a dark side asshole's words and deeds.
A totally defective cause.
