High School Principal Resigns After Calling Kobe Bryant’s Death “Karma”

Camas High School Principal Resigns Over FB Comments On Kobe

It’s surprising that while many mourn the loss of Kobe Bryant, some keep making reference to his alleged rape case in 2003. A High School principal also called Kobe’s death ‘Karma’ due to the alleged rape case.

Camas High School principal in Washington State has resigned following heavy backlash to an insensitive Facebook post about Kobe Bryant.

According to KGW, Dr. Liza Sejkora, the principle in question, wrote, “Not gonna lie. Seems to me that karma caught up with a rapist today,” followed by a shrug emoji. Sejkora says she took the post down after an hour, but someone screenshotted it and shared it in the community.

Superintendent Jeff Snell later announced that Sejkora would be resigning on Friday. In response to the post, Snell said, “I don’t support it. It’s hard for me to understand it. Anytime there’s a loss of life, I hope that all of us come together and rally around that. It didn’t come across that way. That’s really unfortunate.”

He continued : “This has been a tumultuous week, however, I’ve been impressed with the level of professionalism our staff members have displayed as well as the caring and compassion from our families.”

“I am working with the Camas leadership to resign my position as principal of Camas High School,” Sejkora said on Friday. “Students and staff deserve to have a learning environment free of disruptions.”
