It seems that the topic wasn't appropriate for the class, and even if it was that was a rant and not a lecture. He didn't encourage discussion, and the only questions he asked were answered by himself in a way that fit into his rant's agenda. He says that all he wanted to do was encourage them to think about the topics, but this was a poor way to do it and no matter how he qualified it he was most certainly taking a position.
I don't know that a suspension was an appropriate punishment, but he definitely should have been talked to and encouraged to make his lessons more constructive.
