You said 'to anyone you want' and I said 'no'. That is the restriction.
How do you get from a petition asking the government to set up free speech laws to schools not being able to stop bullies. We are asking for people not to be arrested for speech, not saying all speech must be allowed everywhere.

I get there because I understand and operate with ECHR and UK domestic law on a daily basis. Article 10 is a qualified right for very good reasons. One of them is because it allows schools to stop bullying another because it allows our harassment laws to operate.

??? How will schools be affected by government no longer being able to arrest people for bad ideas? They have the option of detentions & expulsion for bullying

Because the person excluded would be able to sue the school for breaching human rights laws! This is why the Right to Life is absolute but Freedom of Expression is not. You can see why one is more important than the other?

There is no human right to say what you like in schools! The proposal is for a law which prevents government from interfering with speech. That is all. There is no corresponding rule for schools or work! Kids have to talk about what the teachers tell them. Maths, English etc.

Ok, I said in a playground. Currently, bullies can’t say anything they want. My point is, with a law stopping intervention on freedom of expression, the school couldn’t stop them expressing themselves how they wanted. If you don’t get that, I seriously suggest researching ECHR.
