This provision is likely unconstitutional, since the First Amendment
guarantees the right to "peaceably assemble." If one group can assemble
a protest, another group can assemble a counter-protest. "Disrupt" could
be violence, or it could just be that the one group is annoyed by the
presence of the other group.

I personally feel that religion has no place in public schools. Leftists
fought to eliminate all traces of Christianity in public schools -- which
I have no problem with -- but now the same leftists who would forbid
Christian students from praying in private are defending the right of
Muslim students to pray in schools, even going so far as to demand non-
Muslim students be indoctrinated (ooh, excuuse me, "re-educated") in
Islamic religious beliefs in the name of promoting "diversity."
