Yes, we shouldn’t laugh at efforts to provide defense. Rather than always glibly stating everyone should be carrying and all would be OK.
We also need to understand the subject here is duel-usage. Not adding totally different equipment.
My biggest problem here is no-one notices these are SMALL boards! I have no idea why an educational system is providing small boards. Seems a waste to me. You need big suckers - how is even a small class going to see it?
If they used a big board, makes more sense defensively, but then how do you utilize it? How would you get such down? Once in place, it would be nice, like being in the trenches.
The small board thing makes me nuts - what is the point of a small chalkboard?
Follow the money.
This idea is too idiotic for words. Look at the video/pic. The demo shows something handheld, about 18”x18” is my guess. Not only would it not protect any students, it wouldn’t do much for the teacher, either.
I smell a payoff to a crony capitalist.
The country has gone full tard.
Colleges are doing away with white-boards as fast as they can. Smart-boards are all the rage.
I assume that shooters will be required by law to supply notice of the intended shooting 24 hours in advance in writing so professors and teachers may practice tearing their bullet proof whiteboards from the wall and whimpering behind them.
Great, what about the boys?

All the bad things that can happen in school shootings, and these morons are worried about WHITEBOARDS???
Hey, profs, when some of your black students at this historically black college are gunned down by some dummy of whatever race, you can at least be glad that your friggin’ WHITEBOARDS are bullet-proof! /sarc
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Methinks, these clowns have seen too many action movies. I am just now getting a ridiculous mental image of the stupid marxists running while shielding themselves with their white boards.
They should have bought guns and lessons for their professors.

Exactly.
On the bright side, this contract is helping to employ some Marylanders. (Hope they’re all legal.)
i8 x 20 inches ain’t gonna protect much torso.
