The story even states they are, which is surprising.

The old adage is true--
If you want to anger a conservative, tell them a lie.
If you want to anger a liberal, tell them the truth.

This new policy is DPS admitting the truth, but not using the actual words.  And the new policy is also DPS admitting that they have no way to get these troublemakers to behave, so they just stop the application of consequences.  In two years they will be complaining about rational people not wanting their children around such troublemakers.
