If a kid decides to bring a weapon to school, and knows that the school has a clear backpack policy, are they gonna put the weapon in the backpack, visible? Or are they gonna hide it?

In cold climates a teenager could hide anything inside a winter coat. Hell, in Florida a kid could hide a pistol, a knife and spare mags in their pants.

This is such bullshit security theater.

That backpack would be lucky to last a week with all the books I had in high school.

But kids don’t have text books now. It’s all on their (extra shitty) Chromebook

I had an iPad in school, text books weren’t bad, school work was annoying with the app we used but tolerable but I mostly just played games on it
