That is false.

The reason that schools are shifting away from Scratch is because most teachers and students view Scratch as a gaming platform, not as a coding one.

However, this user essay by @jvvg shows a good insight on the Scratch Team's moderation.

Then the schools are stupid they don’t know how hard it is to moderate a really big site with a small team of people with a life
And this is because of teacher’s opinion

my teachers only block sites when it's a problem.

the second time I hear scratch being banned in schools, but the teachers might have a reason.
