SEVEN SPRINGS – A social media post made by Spring Creek High School principal Wendy Waters is drawing criticism.

WRAL first reported the story.

The post which was made in reference to the shooting on Monday on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill read, “”What? He only came to our country in 2022 from the UNIVERSITY OF WUHAN!!! My bet is he’s a Chinese Nationalist as a “visiting student” stealing our intellectual property working for the CCP!! There is nothing WHITE about him and since this is now at my front door I will not let them get away with their gaslighting BS!!!

WE NEED TO DECOUPLE FROM PEOPLE WHO HATE US!!!

Coming from a mad mamma!!!”
