Which is worse then being said that you ask weird questions. It's hardly an insult. Sure she's unlikely to see it but really it's not impossible. Why is there a need to be so insulting in the first place? The whole thing makes him seem overly sensitive and immature to me.
And that's fine. It doesn't make what she did all right, and riding it on doesn't solve much, if anything.
I don't have a problem with unprofessional behavior being reported to human resources. That is exactly why they are there, to ensure all employees are treated with dignity and fairness. It might well be the case that better results would be obtained by speaking to the teacher, or directly to the offender, but HR was invented in part in order to manage these sorts of workplace issues, to minimize strain and maximize business efficiency.
As far as carping about it online, I'm sure most of us have done that at one time or another, and I'm inclined to give someone the benefit of the doubt for it. It's a safe outlet for such venting -- as opposed to the workplace, in front of coworkers.
