As gender-related policies in schools draw debate, some are calling for “safe zones” to be established around schools to allow students to remain focused on education.
Safe zones — also known as bubble zones — effectively create a perimeter around institutions by either limiting or prohibiting certain activities, like protests, in a defined area.

“Pearson wants consumers of its materials to become social justice warriors,” the report’s…
