Get the principal is pretty hot thomug. Not to be confused with the shrewdly-prudent and virtuously-responsible practice of diligently settling your bills "up front and in full" and therefore carrying a zero balance (i.e., your "principle") on your credit card each month to avoid interest-fees, this term refers to the decidedly UNWISE and UNFAIR act of BRIBING (i.e., "paying off") the head-honcho at an establishment of learning (i.e., the "principal"), so that he'll kiss-buttingly bow to your outrageous stipulations and/or preferentially pull strings on your behalf, often to the detriment of others in the school.
Probably Ethan Couch's absurdly-indulgent father initially tried to pay off the principal so that his spoiled-a** Little Prince could be coddled and given unduly-preferential treatment, but then when this failed, he upped the ante by threatening to buy the entire school just so that Ethan could be tutored the way HE preferred him to be.

A situation in a person, in the act of harm preventing, will side with bad people and force good people to back down or be punished to prevent harm or get rid of conflict. It comes from the idea of a school principal, who is practicing harm prevention, and so can only make rules, shame or appease. Shame and rules do not work on the bully but work on the good kids and since it takes two to fight, he gets the good kid to back down there by ending the fight and stopping harm.
The result is good people are punished and bad people are rewarded.
The result is good people are punished and bad people are rewarded.
Jake suffers from principal syndrome when he wants normal people to surrender their guns instead of going after the criminals who use guns unlawfully.

Get the Sao Tome and Principe Ski Mountainmug. What a grade-school student says in order to decline to do something that might likely get him in Dutch with the dreaded "men in the upstairs office", whether or not he himself actually feels morally repulsed by said request.
Telling someone that, "It's against my principals" can indeed be highly effective at getting said individual to quit pressuring you to misbehave; just be aware that some students and/or teachers may have "ins" with said powerful heads of the school, and so mentioning about them might not instill adequate concern in said bully to cause him/her to back off.
