It's possible, and it may just be her way of simply saying it's an overreach by schools which I do agree with to some extent. We are being told kids are addicted to screens and spending too much time in front of screens, but we are now forcing them to be on screens to do a required activity like school work. One could argue they'd be on screens anyways, however that is just sidestepping the fact that now a government entity is requiring it.
I personally despise homework and am against anything that is pushing kids to do more work away from school. I think the issue is our inefficient way of teaching children not that they need to do more work while they are away from school. My favorite are the big projects that teachers assign over breaks as if they want to make sure that kids can't escape the stress even over a designated break.
