If I were your dad I'd beat up the principal and ask how he ought to be punished for it.

Most school handbooks say school employees face all the rules students do.

Will the principal be punished for being punched? 
Rules as written, yes.
Rules as enforced, no.

What is legal? what is allowed? what is good? Rarely will you have a single answer for all 3.
