Yeah this is a "get yourpitchforks, boys" type of article.

I was slightly amused at the notion that this will go on his "permanent record," because that is not a thing that exists. There are databases (plural) that provide data for background checks, social media accounts, etc., but a singular "permanent record" document simply doesn't exist and has never existed.

The "this will go on your permanent record" threat has been used by parents and schools for years. The fact that the author here also believes this leads me to believe that they have no idea what they are talking about.
