Read the article, this is about preventing adults from protesting on school grounds, not outright banning protesting.

You think transphobic protests should be allowed to stand on school grounds making kids and teachers uncomfortable?

edit: I read the bill, its here: https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/bills/billscurrent/5th42nd:gov22-1

It specifically focusses on protests on school grounds, or protests that impede access to schools. Thats it. Where does it mention other kinds of protest?
