The problem isn't parents who listen to their children and come in willing to hear the teacher; the problem is the parents who will not even entertain the idea that their little snowflake could do anything wrong.

Completely agree. That just isn't what the article said. If that's what the author meant, it was poorly expressed.
I agree that the teacher, the adult, is unlikely to call a parent meeting unless she is certain that the your kid did the crime. But during that meeting, she is not very likely to volunteer that the student's crime followed an inappropriate action on her part. A good parent needs the whole story in order to decide the right way to discipline the kid.
Asking the student whether what the teacher said is true is also a good way to give the kid an opportunity to come clean rather than compounding the crime by lying. A good parent needs to know whether the kid understands the wrongness of his actions.
