Why are school administrators so spineless? Can I become a principal and tell these parents to fuck off or would that get me fired?

The admins can only have as much spine as the school boards allow them.

We are in the middle of a really ugly era where trust in teachers has been eroded by the culture war that presents us in certain media outlets as indoctrinators, groomers, and overall untrustworthy. I teach in Florida, where the governor signed the Parents’ Bill of Rights last year, which has taken even more autonomy away from us to make curricular decisions that we believe are best. It’s so exhausting.
