   if every student has access to a computer, this is feasible.

   Clear backpacks: My time has come.

   Stop running schools like a prison.

   I thought the advice was students needed bulletproof backpacks?

5. shinobipopcorn says

   My high school did this, so we all used oversized purses. This was before laptops and ebooks.

6. mysilvermachine says

   I thought ballistic backpacks were required ?

   The high schools near me already don’t let the kids use lockers, anymore. I can’t imagine if they banned bags, too.

   Do you recall when shootings stopped after schools banned trenchcoats?

   Goddamn rampant bag strangling and bludgeonings. About time they ban such a deadly weapon from children. Afterall bags are not useful beyond thier weaponized state. Not like the children have paperwork or books or school gear to carry.

    why not to ban schools all together? no schools, no shootings, no problems!

    Ban everything. Except guns obviously.

12. slumvillain says

    The backpacks were the problem, obviously.

    Hopefully this cuts down on incidences where children are needlessly slaughtered by guns in classrooms.

    Schools have been doing this for at least 20 years.

    Better stock up on cargo pants! And a few clear bags.

    So much bullshit!

    Back in 2009, my high school banned backpacks… It is nothing new. Sadder still, they believe this to be the answer.
