As the father of a minority you are allowed, and equipped, to enter the fray and say "how dare you apologize for my daughter doing perfectly normal things." That provides the school the coverage to roll things back, and deflects the battle from them to you. You have the standing to raise this issue, they don't.

Who is this "people" you're condemning here, by the way? You're acting as if the vast arrayed forces of the proletariat are indicting John Galt for thoughtcrime, instead of acting as if a 20-year-old unpaid intern is simply trying to navigate a minefield of entitled Karens. It takes a real lack of perspective to turn an HOA meeting into Dunkirk.

The school has a responsibility to keep my daughter out of cultural battles, especially if they will dehumanize her to save their skin.

It was dumb of them to put that shit on social media in the first place, and this is how they learn. There is zero upside to anyone's kids doing anything with anyone anywhere ever on social media.
