The headline is misleading. Exploration isn't banned, but creating class projects solely for exploration is banned, because it's vague and subjective.
What he's going for is to have the students explore the data and get insights into it, and then actually use those insights and data to create their projects.

It's not misleading and I don't think the GP is responding to the headline alone. The guy chose to present his idea this way and the headline is a fair summary of his attitude.

And I think that is a really good idea.
