Hahaha! Why apologize? When are people going to learn that the mob will only see that as weakness and double down? It should be obvious to anyone who's been paying attention that apologizing is completely pointless and only makes things worse on yourself. It doesn't matter how many times you apologize or how sincerely. It will never be enough. They're not looking for reconciliation, they're looking for humiliation and domination.

The proper move for the principal here is to show up to assembly in full head to toe blackface minstrel garb, tap dance out onto the stage and fucking expel everyone.

Fuck them. Don't given children power, ever.
