Strictly speaking you might be legally right. Of course, they could also restrict you from doing homework and assignments, and they'd be legally right.
Consider this: Is it a fair compromise?
What if you approach them and ask them to pay you for your break, and they say, OK, but we're no longer going to let you do your work on our time. Would you be better off?
Nothing wrong with enforcing your rights, and those rights are there to protect certain minimum standards. Remember though you are getting a benefit above and beyond which most employers would allow, so I'm not so sure I'd rock the boat if I were you.
