The article isn't very clear
I'm assuming that either A: this was a video edited to appear as though he was singing live, but he actually wasn't, or B: He sang it live to the classroom.
If 'A', how is that worthy of being a punishable offence? He broke no laws I've ever heard of, it's nuts.
If 'B', wtf did he think he was doing? Of course you will get a lot of upset people, though I'm not sure that the punishment really fits the crime, seems a bit excessive.

It's A
edit: although it's slightly more complicated than that.
He recorded himself singing a nice song to the kids, then recorded a naughty version to an empty room. Then spliced em up.

A.
he sang a song live in front of the kids. Then edited a different song in with the kids reactions to the original one. He didn't make it clear to the school what he would do with the video once it was taken, which was a silly mistake, but they were never exposed to any 'harmful' lyrics.
The parents are mainly angry about their kids 'images' being used without permission in such a way. But the punishment in my mind, does NOT fit the 'crime'.
