they are equating facebook comments with direct communication

That's the super sketchy part. Making 5 Facebook posts == misdemeanor now? If someone asks 5 loaded questions to someone in a Reddit AMA, will that also be considered harassment now? Tag someone on Twitter 5x and now you are harassing them?

Whatever happened to delete and ignore?

If I was his lawyer I'd consider arguing that Facebook is a public forum and not a form of directly targeted contact.
That would make it a (legal) speech issue, instead of an (illegal) harassment one.

Bwahaha.. where've you been?
The Sticks and Stones lesson has been updated, it now goes:

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but that stuff heals.
Names cause emotional scars that last forever!
And you're Hitler if you disagree!
