The delusional nitwit TeaTards don't trust Obama to talk to school kids, don't trust 'liberal' teachers not to brainwash their kid, think gay teachers will turn their kids into hippie perverts, don't believe scientists, or science not in the Bible, but they think it's AOK to require teachers to carry loaded weapons into every class in America.

Well as Dagblog notes in its headlines: More people are dying from guns than cars!

Dershowitz was on MSNBC (and FOX recently) and he speaks about what you have to go through in order to enter the WH. Place-dropping as it were! ha

Well maybe our elementary schools must go through the same security as the WH!

What a joke.

I have reviewed the protocols for entering the Newton elementary school and hell...

We had no ID's, there were no scanners at the door, there were no folks except smiling women (for the most parts) welcoming you into the school!

We are really seeing the birth of the police state and I have no idea how to stop it.

In some HUFFPO stub, I learned that some parents sent their 11 year old to school with a gun in order to protect himself. The first thing he did at school was to threaten his school mates with the damned weapon!

BRAVE NEW WORLD INDEED!

I can see it working in a Super Hero movie, which the buyers of these backpacks probably figure is the way things will come down. If they are prepared For survival.

Meaning AK-47 at home, armored backpack at school.

Don't these people even remember that you take your backpack off in the classroom?

Since this is the lighter thread (with the heaviest backpacks)... Woody Allen, in his stand up used to tell the story of how one day he found an old bullet on the street. He picked it up, put it in his jacket pocket and forgot about it. Then, one day, a crazed Gideon hurled a bible out of a high story hotel window. "Would have gone right through my heart and killed me," Allen said. "But the bullet stopped it."

The gorilla walk can also help in rough neighborhoods. The bad guys wonder if you're a crippled hunchback showing the results of too many street fights, or a mean ass former football star who could still kick their ass.

On the armoring of kids, you have to doubt the sanity of Americans who think giving a kid a bullet proof backpack is really going to pay off.

I was hit by a car riding my bike. No helmet, of course. I remember flying through the air and bouncing on my head, but I believe I was saved from serious injury because most of the impact was absorbed by the giant German-English dictionary in my backpack. If it had been a Bible, I would probably be a more religious person than I am today.

I think Mythbusters did something similar to this involving paper armor.

As a kid, I had to walk through a rough neighborhood to get to school. I used to daydream that someone would try to shoot me, and the bullet would get lodged in the huge stack of books on my back.
