==What do you think the unschooling approach is when a parent is out with a child and is told that their family is not welcome in a certain
space?==
I think it depends. If the Mom and child were acting in accordance with what was expected in that space, if they weren't causing noise/mess/trouble more than anyone else there, then I would question exactly why I was being asked to leave.
==once we were in a shop and a woman told us we should go.==
I feel like there must be information missing, but perhaps the OP doesn't want to elaborate. I find myself wondering what the circumstances were. Were they just in shop, quietly looking, or something else was happening? Was the 'woman' the owner/worker in the
shop, or just a random other shopper?
==?I told him it was because we weren't welcome.?==
I don't know how old the child is, but if he's small (maybe younger than 9 or so) I wouldn't have told him that, I'd just have said we are going to shop somewhere else, probably.
==?If I framed it less as being kicked out of somewhere and more as choosing to spend time where we are welcomed and loved.==
I would see it this way - depending on the actual circumstance, though, as above.

==?...they
respond and react to my twin 10 year old energetic boys......My response to anyone that comments to me is " they are only a distraction if you let them be"?==
It sounds like those children are disrupting a class on a regular basis. If so, that's not cool - the Mom should be stepping in to make sure her kids are not disrupting a class for others, if she insists on taking them. Putting the onus on other people to ignore
your distracting kids is not fair.
