How about go a step further and ban narcissists from all teaching and student positions.
Banning back packs to prevent school shootings is like Banning cupholders in cars to prevent drunk driving. Lol. Y'all are stupid as f***. You ban guns shootings will happen more frequently. With a lot more deaths involved. You can ban everything and nothing will change. People will just be more creative with their killings. Might as well rewrite the bible and put in there that all trigger fingers should be circumcised at birth. This world just get more stupid by the minute. Glad I won't be around to see gen z become the majority in governmental office. That'll be a sh**show
Next they'll ban clothes for the safety of the kids?!
They ban backpacks but not guns. Crazy nut jobs
So my question is… is each student gonna get patted down before entering the building? A weapon can still be brought in by someone hiding it inside their clothing or pocket. Unless there are metal detectors installed, it’s kinda useless banning backpacks.
The next ban will be that jeans/pants can’t have pockets either and that jackets and coats are not allowed… maybe socks too since someone can put a knife or something down there.
Nothing new alot of schools have been doing this long before the pandemic
Start locking up parents with the child.
But what about bulletproof backpacks, another one of those American perversions of reason? Others would attack and HAVE attacked the basic problems which are the flood of guns and the cult of violence and toxic masculinity that considers violence a means of problem solving. Don't bother with the symptoms, cure the illness!
why not just have clear see through backpacks? when you work at amazon thats the only thing they allow in the building.
USA is becoming a living parody of itself. How about – and hear me out on a crazy idea here – maybe lowering the amount of guns?
What a world 😢
Cuz you can’t hide a gun in your pants?
We'll ban everything but the problem. Jc
How about, cleaning the filthy water system you have been allowing these kids and families to ingest for decades.
Nice country we have here.
Metal detectors??? Was that not logical?
And let’s keep pretending
1:10 She looks like a teen-aged mother!! Why do black girls have to have kids so young?
So what are children supposed to carry their books in
Is this a racial jungle?
Maybe hold the parents accountable also. Their kids got that gun from somewhere. Only state that allows kids to buy guns is Texas.
We never had backpacks in school. We carried our books if we took any home. 3 generations of kids with bad backs. We didn't have mass shooting either. Why, we didn't have Mortal Combat, GTA or Call of Duty. We had guns. I first shot a .22 when I was 8. learned to shoot safely. One bullet at a time.
Omg
That makes sense to find some kind of a solution to the problem at school.🍕🌮🌮🌮🍕✌️✌️🇺🇸✌️
Dang, where they gonna carry their bottled water now..? (Since it still isn't safe to drink from the tap there)
this ban is so dumb even this black women figured out while the news is being flimed
BRO I COULDNT IMAGINE LIVING IN FLINT MICHIGAN 💀💀💀
For real? 😂😢😅 Tackling the fast paced environment and the ability to handle the stress calmly is such a global problem than this 😢😢😢.
Tell them not to bring guns in. That should worl
Metal detector and cavity search for those little thugs.
Wait until they learn about pockets..
