Yes it is. It's the same thing with the US drug education policy.
They fail to really explain what hacking is all about, swamp the
young with false information (in this case, it's just superficial
and biased as hell), and then put the label of the good citizen on
that.

Instead, they should explain kids what it is and motivate them to
engage in protecting their stuff. When I was a kid and I read a "Do
Not ...", I usually took that as an invitation.

It's also funny that the DOJ thinks that sports equipment is what
makes the world go 'round.

While I agree with that, I think that children are unable to
correctly incorporate such information.
