Bulletproof backpacks: Sales surge as kids head back to school - Washington Times​

By Cheryl K. Chumley
The Washington Times​

Students in select areas of the country are heading back to school with the likes of bulletproof backpacks and whiteboards that also work as shields — even though some are calling it overkill.​

Oh cool. Probably bad to get a false sense of security out of having one, but better to have than have not.

Guess that is the world we live in.

I guess parents aren't putting their trust in gun free zone signs anymore.

You mean the gun free zones don't work? Who would of thought that?

Back in the day, way back-----way back when I was in grade school, things were much simpler - we didn't have to learn how to use a slate board as a shield-----a shield to protect ourselves from some weirdo with a gun coming into our classroom and firing off high capacity clip after high capacity clip - we only had to learn how to duck and cover in the event we had a 5 second warning that we were about to get hit by a nuclear bomb.
Ahh yes those were the days-----the days when "you wrote on my slate..."
