Because of the history of the protestors in other cities, a number of schools in the area were shut down (not due to possible violence per se but due to transportation disruptions.) Staff and students were relocated to other sites to continue schooling. Unfortunately, this translated at the school level to well over three full weeks disruption, both in preparation and in actual relocation. (Personally, I have been relocated with a group of students to an inner city school but that's a story in of itself.)
The fact that many of the disruptors are paid anarchists who travel from one spot to another to wreak havoc is akin to how terrorists work. The right to free speech is one thing granted here but the right to violence is not.

Please... they aren't terrorists. If they break the law, or some windows or burn some things in the street they're still garden variety criminals.
The 'domestic terrorist' label is an extremely dangerous thing. And whoever is in power is going to sling it at their political opponents whenever convenient. One day they might sling it at you.
