The school's responsibility to give out punishments ends at school. It does not extend into the home. That isn't just my opinion. It's something that has been confirmed in higher court many times in the past. If the parents did choose to pursue legal action, there's almost no doubt they will win.
The issue right now is not if the child did something wrong. It is if he did something wrong that occurred on school grounds and directly affected the school. He did not. The post was removed before school the next day. The school overstepped its boundaries. They have no right to police matters that don't occur in school.
