I’m legit trying to figure out who your calling the petty tyrant flexing their power: - The principal which let off with a warning - The other kid, popping circuit breakers - Or you, ‘corrupting’ other young minds :)

It refers to the principle, who didn't flex his power which came as a surprise. The other kid is a gremlin. GP was playing the clueless engineer type who forgets to give thought to who is asking the question and how the answer will be used.
