They say we HAVE to do something to protect the kids, but when my Son in Law tried it wasn't allowed.

My SIL, a prepper, III percenter and survivalist type bought bullet resistant backpack liners for my Step Grandson and Step Granddaughter, both in grade school. It slips in the backpack and provides some protection, the kid is supposed to be taught to hide and use the backpack as a shield. OK, no harm in that right?

But NO! When his teacher found out she reported to the principal and it was removed and confiscated! The Principal said it was "a gun related item" and thus prohibited. WTF over?

My SIL was able to go pick it up, but was told it won't be allowed back in school.

When he complained and asked why the girl was allowed to use hers but the boy wasn't they told him that official policy of the school board left it up to the individual principals, and they attended different schools.

Seems like our schools are run by a bunch of idiots now.

Before anyone says anything, I worked at one for 9.5 yrs. and that was just about 2 years ago that I quit.
Our plan for an active shooter was to lock the classroom doors when a certain code was given on the speakers.
Our doors locked only with a key, which only maintenance people had.

It was adult education and another plan was to give I.D.s to all the instructors.
What good would that do when all the students were of adult age???
When I asked to carry they looked at me like I was threatening to shoot up the place.
At least they kept the offices locked so those people were safe.

get him some chainmail. Those aren't gun related.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

So the danger is kids getting shot. Kids are provided a completely defensive tool to keep from getting shot. But that isn’t allowed.
Wow.
That almost sounds like the alleged auto industry argument against seat belts back in the day...”we can’t have people thinking our vehicles are unsafe by putting seat belts in them”

That would be enough for me to pull my kid out of that school.

My sisters boy got kicked out of school for bringing a paint-ball gun hopper to school. Not the gun - just a plastic bowl like thing that holds paintballs. Empty. So- an empty plastic bowl. BUT - it was "gun related" so they expelled him.

He was a kid in elementary school. Brought the hopper in to show his friends his new purchase. I think someone (not a close friend) saw him or heard him telling his friends about the device and went and told the teacher.

Why not put the panel in the backpack and keep quiet about it?

I don't think those panels are of much use, but they can't hurt and may do some good.

Not surprising. State run "schools" are going to do all they can to brainwash every child into believing guns are all evil.
It makes me cringe to know how many of our kids will come out the other side as brainless democrat voting zombies.

Indeed. My daughter home schools and she thanks us every day for not having to deal with the liberal nonsense and core agenda in the local school systems. Ironically - the home school coursework is much more challenging and comprehensive vs. what she was dealing with previously.

That is some stupid shit.

A girl I knew when I was a kid accidentally brought a steak knife to school in her lunch box - mom dropped it in there after making the sandwich, I guess. Anyway, she "did the right thing" and told an adult, explained that it was a complete accident, etc.

She was expelled within a few days. She was in 4th grade and a straight-A student.

It's unfortunate, but if I ever have children I will strongly teach them the value of keeping their mouth shut in such circumstances. Mistakes happen, but it's often best if no one finds out, particularly in the idiotic zero-tolerance society we live in.

The boy (as a boy likely would) put the backpack on backwards and bet his friends that when they punched him through the backpack, they couldn't hurt because you know; this thing my parents gave me is sooo cool. Wink

There is a clipboard made of Kevlar that looks exactly like a clipboard, has nothing printed on it to identify it as bulletproof or gun related. It fits nicely in a book bag. Got one for each of my grandchildren and we talked about it's purpose in protecting them and how to use it and why no one was to be told about it including friends or teachers.

They have had them in backpacks for a year with no difficulties.

My wife is pregnant with our first and when I hear stories like this I worry because I have never exactly been shy about pointing out when someone is being an incompetent fool and I can see how badly it will go when I am talking to a mouth breather douchbag 'educator' in the principle's office.


Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back.

Get him a new backpack that already has it sewn into the fabric, no insert visible.

We sewed inserts into our kids packs and told them not to talk about it.

So far, so good.

There needs to be push back. Pack the board meetings and push back. Keep putting the things in the back packs, get the child expelled, lawyer up and push back.
