“A parent who truly disagrees with a sign like this is likely to ignore it”
And this is when the fun begins. Having a parent come on school grounds, even to a high school, is like opening up the gates of hell if it is determined that the parent ignored the rule in defiance. They can, and have, called the cops, have the unwelcome parent captured, and arrested.
Branch Elementary School A Texas elementary school regularly threatens criminal charges to parents who enter the property to drop off or pick up their children. And the school systems in different parts of the country practice their “bad person on campus” at different times and it is almost always a deranged father.
And all they are really sup[posed to do is teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. But they have to get into life skills, not their area of expertise, and force it down the parents and kids throats. And use the law to do it. Stay with what you know. Leave the education of my kids morals and responsibilities to me.

This sign is, to me, clearly a pretty polite request. It is phrased as such.
It’s not the same type of situation as you are describing where some sort of legal force is being used to block access to a campus. That’s something quite different.
What some school in Texas is doing has little to do with what this school is doing.
I don’t believe parents should be barred from school campuses in general terms. But that isn’t what is happening in this particular case and acting as if the situations are equivalent or treating them as equivalent makes very little sense. You seem to be complaining about something entirely different than what is actually happening in the article that started this discussion - and while your complaints might very well be valid in some contexts, it doesn’t mean they are in others.
