A principal at a New Jersey High School apologized to snowflakes who were triggered by the suggestion “Party Like its 1776!” on their prom tickets. The problem is the second you give the SJWs any sort of acknowledgement they will make the situation worse.

Cherry Hill High School East Principal Dennis Perry apologized last week after his school’s prom tickets were called racist because they contained the phrase “party like its 1776.”
Cherry Hill High School East, which planned to have its annual senior prom at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, came under fire last week from some parents who thought that the event’s tickets were “racist.”
The critics were objecting to the use of the phrase “party like it’s 1776,” which they claimed is racially insensitive due to the lack of political rights afforded to minorities in late 18th century America.
In a letter to the Cherry Hill East community, Principal Dennis Perry apologized to black students, writing that “it was insensitive and irresponsible not to appreciate that not all communities” had the freedom” to celebrate what life was like in 1776.”
Today, I teamed that members of our school community were offended by a statement written on our Senior Prom ticket. Specifically, the statement on the prom ticket called for students to, “… party like it’s 1776.” I am writing to apologize for the hurt feelings this reference caused for members of our school family. It was insensitive and irresponsible not to appreciate that not all communities can celebrate what life was like in 1776. I especially apologize to our African American students, whom I have let down by not initially recognizing the inappropriateness of this wording. You can expect that we will do better as a school community to produce well thought out appropriate communications.
In addition to the apology…
