It's easy to see what's going on. An image of a student reading a book should be a non-story, regardless of where it's posted. What's going on is pure buffoonery and shenanigans.

This is overly reductionist. There are trivially imaginable contexts in which "an image of a student reading a book" can be harassing. Forget the book at all, sending someone "an image of a student" can be harassing depending on the unspoken details.

Political activist groups love to use FERPA to their advantage, and I bet this is that.
