Grammar & Contextual Explanation
Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word in an utterance. This is done for emphasis, clarification or correction. In this case, the response is designed to correct a misapprehension of the questioner. The questioner wrongly assumed that the students were being punished by the principal for being "sincere". The responder corrects this misapprehension by emphasising "dishonest".
Did the principal punish the students for being sincere?
No. the principal punished the students for being DISHONEST.
