Maybe those police can wear these so they’ll feel courageous enought to engage.
“Prices of the backpacks range from $100 to $300.”
Shouldn’t the government give out these backpacks for “free” to all the disadvantaged kids? Why should rich kids be protected but not poor kids?
/s if you couldn’t tell.
With the amount of stuff some kids carry in their pack would they be able to hold them up in these positions , is there a quick dump
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Apologize in advance for language…..
What the hell is wrong with parents?!?!?!?!?!?!?
What decent parent in their right minds would send their kids into an environment that they know is so potentially dangerous that they would need bullet proof backpacks to cower behind in the event of an active shooter????????
This advertising is staggering. They actually are showing kids how to shield themselves behind a backpack for “safety”???
And yet grown LEOs with body armor won’t go into an active shooter situation because they might get shot?????????
When is this insanity going to end? And when are parents going to love their kids more than they love their own lifestyles and themselves?
The kids dont wear them all day. And generally backpacks are kept in the areas of boots and coats.
All the money the unconstitutional Dept of Education has spent on BS they could have easily went to school security and upgrades.
How well do these backpacks protect from common rifle cartridges, .223, 5.56 mm, .308, 7.62x__, etc?
When I was young, we didn't wear backpacks to school. We had book bags. And us boys would have "book bag fights," slamming our bags at each other.
Now, even adults wear backpacks, like little children.
I want one.
If kids carry these, what comes next is 4 laps around the track in the AM and the PM before and after school. That will get rid of the fatty kids, or help anyway.
They, originally, said that the Uvalde POS didn’t have body armor, but a tactical vest, then it was soft armor, now plates.
Wonder if he had an fbi handler, like the Buffalo and Garland shooters and the Michigan “kidnappers”?
70 years for me. I grew up in Rochester, New York. My grammar school was turned into a senior citizen apartment complex many years ago. The hospital I was born in was torn down in 1966. My high school was demolished in 1983. I'm next for the chopping block 😆
Don’t they want to ban “bulletproof” vests and stuff?
The backpack will not stop and AR-15 bullets.
Try to protect the school with a locked perimeter, with police on the grounds, and Trained Shooter for the children, and banning guns with a posted sign to scare off the bad person.
AR-1, 3,250 ft/s
Best Vest: 1 round of armor-piercing ammo such as a 166gr 30-06 traveling at 2880 fps. Doesn’t protect after bullet 1.
