B.C. plans law allowing police to arrest or ticket over school disruptions

The British Columbia government has introduced legislation that it says will put in place 20-metre access zones around schools to protect students from disruptive behaviour, including aggressive protests.Premier David Eby says there has been at least 18 such protests at schools, and the law would stop people from blocking access, attempting to intimidate another person or disrupting school activities, such as banging on classroom windows.Eby says these are things that shouldn’t need law, but unfortunately the legislation is necessary.
