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.

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.
