It's sad to see Facebook copying Bucknutz.

This sounds very similar to the case where McDonald's sued the girl who started a fundraiser / charity music event called McFest. (Her last name begins with "Mc"..).

What the hell does Facebook have anything to do with either of those names, face or book?
Those that threaten lawsuits over names should be laughed out of court. Copyright law is hilariously stupid.

Teachbook's lawyers should immediately move for dismissal based on the obvious fact that no one would ever confuse even the worst professional teacher with the kind of idiot that inhabits most of Facebook, and therefore this frivolous lawsuit was filed solely to be vexatious and gain free publicity for Facebook (in which it has, sadly, succeeded very well).
