Ban protests outside and around schools and playgrounds in England

What the petition asks
Put into law to make it illegal to protest outside schools and playgrounds, as they have the potential to turn violent, placing our children in danger.
I was recently made aware of a protest taking place outside a local school concerning issues in the Middle East. I am concerned about the wellbeing of the children if schools are unnecessarily dragged into and exposed to protests at their doorstep, which have the potential to turn violent, or could be hijacked by trouble makers, raising safety concerns for children.
