I never really thought about the phrase "doing your own research" before, but now I see what they mean. They are not saying research is a bad thing, they are specifically targeting "your" research. It's fine to do paid research or research assigned by a teacher, but any personal curiosity is forbidden. This essentially means that only state-sanctioned research is going to be tolerated.
